Imperative, you MUST lock the floating beater in the full UP position. This is accomplished by drilling a hole in the middle of the upper angle on the floating beater side plate and the upper angle stop welded to the combine side. We also found metal finger guides as in the corn soybean special were necessary. This works great in corn and the beater is very reliable as the fingers are shorter. As you found it is great in other crops as well. A work of caution, hard spaced wide bars or spike tooth is almost a must in green stem beans because this beater will let a large amount of bunched material material into the cyl.
