Pinto beans grow too close to the ground to go in and direct cut with a combine even the one's they use for soy beans...so what you do is run a bean knife rig or a bean rod rig through to cut and lift the plants out of the ground. This rig does a good job of cutting and then putting 2 rows together. It was suppose to be a 4 row cutter but had longer bars than normal and I had extra knife bars so I added the 2 outside ones and it works just fine. After cutting you are suppose to rod the rows which lift the plant all the way out of the ground but with the wide knives I put on the plants aren't in the ground at all. Next step is to use a hay rake and rake 4 rows onto 4 then another 4 onto those 8 for 12 rows total. The combine has a special front roller assembly with tines that pick the plants off the ground and then up and into the head. You have to do everything in the morning except the combine part with dew on or the pods shell. Gives you about 3 hours to either cut or rake.
