Pixall Green Bean Picker

We have purchased a Pixall Green Bean Picker. It does not look like much now. After sand blasting, painting, and replacing some gears and  bearings, it should look great. We get lots of request for green beans during the growing season. Anyone who has picked green beans by hand knows how arduous and back breaking a task that can be. We are hoping to have an abundance of green beans this season picked and ready to go.
