6wheeler 603 #1 Posted December 3, 2022 Hi all. I was shelling some Pinto beans tonight and thought. I bet everyone that grows these and shells them by hand? HATES IT. But? I have a way that works very well. I am going to try to load some pics. And? If it works? A video. I know? Stop. Did he say video? Are his kids home to do it? I said, Try🤠🤠🤠. Here goes. Take a paint stirring wand. Cut it off to 16 1/2". Then? I took 9 links of a 1/4" chain. Cut the 9th link. Split it enough to go around the lower shaft. Hook the remaining links onto that link. Then? Bend it back to keep it around the shaft. Put it into a drill. Fill a 5 gallon pail with dry pods to about 40%. Any more than that? Makes it hard to shell the cleanly. Make a screen fron 1/4" square screen. Dump the pail onto the screen. Have some sort of tub under the screen to catch the beans. Pods stay on the screen. Good luck.

Ed Kennell 38,230 #2 Posted December 3, 2022 Wow, I'm impressed. Now hook it up to a PTO and we can add it to the strange Wheel Horse implement thread along with the ice cream freezers, wood splitters, and chicken plucker. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
