Bean Lifter Guard
If you direct harvest your beans, this bean lifter will greatly reduce your header
losses. The lifter lifts pods and branches off the ground, high enough to clear the knife without being cut
to pieces. Because there is more plant material picked up and because you can drive faster there is
more material for the reel to work with. This results in a better "flow' of plant material into the header
auger with a lot less beans left on the ground or being cut to pieces by the knife. Lifter guards work with
standard and air reels. The lifter guards can only be used with the EASY CUT SYSTEM.
THE GUARD has standard 3 inch hole spacing which fits most cutting bars. It is made of
f
spring steel and clamps onto the cutting bar, with support both on the top and bottom of
the guard, giving it much greater strength and durability than a standard forged guard.
• no knife hold down clips • no shins • no adjusting
• two cutting edges - lasts twice as long
THE SICKLE uses specially designed top serrated sections.
The sections have a cut-out to prevent material from building
up on knife when cutting green crop or hay. One section cuts
against bottom of guard, the next is upside down and cuts against top of guard. This eliminates the up -
pressure on the sickle and guarantees always close section to and guard edge contact, greatly
improving the cut.
THE SYSTEM is uniquely designed to c,)erate smoothly and easily in the toughest of conditions.
• The sections are bolted
• Cuts faster and cleaner with less down time
• Ground speed can be increased
• Ideal for hay machines, combines and
swathers, conversion (tits available for most
makes and models

Food, was a municipal planner for the
County of Huron, and has taught at
Guelph for the past 10 years. While on
faculty, he has worked with a number of
local and provincial groups, including
OMAF, the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture, the ministry of community and
social services, and the ministry of
municipal affairs.
The commission's goal is to develop
a more strategic direction to land -use
policies and legislation, which will be
more open than the current process, and
will broaden the scope to include envi-
ronmental issues, says Penfold. With a
rural perspective added to the commis-
sion's work, the recommendations will
help "create the kind of communities
and rural environment we'd like to
have," he says.
"Most commissions in the past have
been urban in perspective and orienta-
tion," says Penfold, adding that rural
issues were of concern from only the
standpoint of natural resources or indi-
vidual environmental issues. He hopes
to add a social standpoint to rural issues
as well.
The commission will conduct public
hearings that will provide a forum for
landowners to vent their frustration over
land -use issues and suggest positive
solutions. The challenge will be to find
ways to deal with that frustration, which
Penfold describes as "symptomatic of
the problems in the system."
Over the next two years, the com-
mission also plans to sit down with the
public, special-interest groups, local
and provincial govemment interests,
and development interests to identify
key issues and find ways to work to-
gether.
Questions of provincial interest
concerning farmland, urban develop-
ment, and the environment are currently
dealt with independently. What is
needed is a clear overview of how they
connect and tie into a broader strategy at
local and provincial government levels,
Penfold says. In developing new strate-
gies, time and cost factors have to be
considered.
"It's necessary to bring a clearer
focus to the review process and develop-
ment process so that everyone is satis-
fred."0
