Model 9960
Self-Propelled
Peanut
Combine
Congratulations on your purchase of an
AMADAS Model 9960 Self-Propelled
Peanut Combine. The 9960 SP is the
culmination of years of intensive research
and development in a combined effort by
AMADAS Industries and John Deere.
AMADAS Industries’ aggressive design
capabilities joined forces with John Deere’s
drive train expertise to produce the world’s
first eight-row self-propelled peanut
combine. The 9960 SP employs innovative
technology along with the industry’s largest
thrashing and separation capacity to make it
the leader in peanut combines.
Benefits
A high-capacity, self-propelled combine is
the best machine for harvesting peanuts.
Your AMADAS combine will optimize your
peanut harvest by providing the following
benefits:
•Reduced crop damage and loss. Up
to 15% less crop is lost or damaged
than with the use of a pull-type combine.
•Reduced overall harvest costs. You
need fewer machines, fewer people,
and less fuel, which results in more
profit.
•Increased harvesting capacity. The
9960’s harvesting capacity is over 33%
greater than that of a comparable pull-
type combine.
•Higher crop yield. Because the 9960
allows you to plant narrow row widths,
you will have higher crop yield.
•Superior harvesting capability in
adverse conditions. The 9960 is
unsurpassed in performance in wet,
muddy, and windblown conditions.
Standard Features
The following items are just some of the
features that come standard on the
AMADAS Model 9960 Self-Propelled
Peanut Combine.
•Turbocharged, air-to-air after cooled, 6-
cylinder, 245 HP engine
•Hydraulic, variable 3-speed ground drive
•7,500 lb (3,400 kg) capacity peanut bin
•5-cylinder separation system
•Two-speed primary picking system
•Variable speed secondary picking
system
•12” diameter collection auger.
Options
The following options are available with the
Model 9960:
•Two-or four-wheel drive
•Off-loading Conveying System (OCS) or
dump basket
•6 or 8 row header.
