Amadas Industries M2110 Pull-Type Peanut Harvester

In addition to peanut combines, Amadas produces crop transporter trailers, peanut diggers, and crop lifter conditioners. For cotton, Amadas fields a pull-behind stalk puller/chopper, and a forklift mast-style tractor attachment to lift and carry heavy, round bales of the harvested crop. The company also makes a long-reach mower attachment for tractors and Reel Rain and other irrigation systems, as well as a broad variety of industrial machines for handling, bagging, and palletizing bulk materials for the horticultural and recycling industries.

Product Specifics

Amadas’ A9970 self-propelled peanut combine is the legacy of a joint venture between Amadas and John Deere that dates to 1994. Marketed through Deere’s dealer network, the high-capacity harvester uses a John Deere cab and powertrain, is available in bin dump or offloading conveyor configurations, and can handle headers from 19 feet (5.8 meters) to 32 feet (9.8 meters) wide. A turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel, three-speed transmission, and large hydrostatic pump provide the muscle for the 2- or 4-wheel-drive machine, which is AutoTrac ready, meaning buyers only need to add a Deere StarFire receiver and a Green Star display to get started.

The six-row pull-type TM2110 peanut combine, meanwhile, includes a 7,500-pound (3,410-kilogram) bin as standard and an offloading conveyor as an option. Elsewhere, the Amadas Peanut Digger unearths a maximum number of peanuts, removes as much dirt as possible, and inverts the plants to form windrows for drying and later harvest. Available in four-, six-, and eight-row models, the digger uses hydraulics, not PTO power, and belt and rod conveyors instead of the bar and chain type.

Elsewhere, Amadas’ Crop Lifter Conditioner gently picks up peanut plant windrows, circulates air, removes more dirt, and lays them back down to finish drying. The machine can support 30-, 36- and 38-inch (76.2-, 91.4-, and 96-5-centimeter) rows. The Amadas In-Field Crop Transporter trailer has a struck capacity of 1,100 cubic feet (31.1 cubic meters), or 25,000 pounds (11,340 kilograms) by weight, and features dirt screens for crop cleansing. Finally, for use after cotton harvest, the high-speed Amadas Stalk Puller/Chopper pulls plants up by the roots and chops them up while aerating the soil to prevent diseases and insects from carrying over into next year’s crop.
