We used to call them "bean pullers", as they don't really cut anything, they slice under the plants, lift them out of the ground, and pull two rows together. Never seen a setup like this one, our first was front-mounted on a Ford Jubilee, and only two rows. We later had a four row setup on the side cultivators on one of our 706D's, ran the rear wheels all the way out, and left two windrows from 4 rows inside the rear wheels. The large knife-like blades do the pulling- one thing the later versions had was a double guide bar setup above the blades to help contain & windrow two rows into one. Then the two would be brought to one with a hay rake, and then through the Innes "bean windrower", which would pick up the windrow, gently shake the dirt & rocks out, and fluff it up for final drying. The plants were first sprayed with Shed-a Leaf defoliant (think Agent Orange- not kidding, it came in those infamous orange drums) which knocked all the leaves off and dried out the stems in just a couple days- just had to dry the actual beans to spec for the mill. I was in my early teens at the time, we had a couple extra sets of puller blades to switch out the dull ones, so I ground blade edges in the evening and ran the rake with the 8N or the Innes on our second 706D during the day. Got to run the 91 Bean Special combine the first time when I was ten. My price to pay for getting to run the 91 part-time was to change the broken windrow pickup tines about every third day- one royal PITA. Spent the rest of my daytime while the combine was running staging the haul trucks and doing the check-walks behind the combine for setup
