Introduction 9980 Self-Propelled Peanut Combine
viii 08/05/16 MAN141.rev1
Model 9980
Self-Propelled
Peanut
Combine
Congratulations on your purchase of an
AMADAS Model 9980 Self-Propelled
Peanut Combine. The 9980 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 9980 SP employs innovative
technology along with the industry’s largest
threshing 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, all of which result in more
profit.
•Increased harvesting capacity. The
9980’s harvesting capacity is over 33%
greater than that of a comparable pull-
type combine.
•Higher crop yield. Because the 9980
allows you to plant narrow row widths,
you will have higher crop yield.
•Superior harvesting capability in
adverse conditions. The 9980 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 9980 Self-Propelled
Peanut Combine.
•Turbocharged, air-to-air after cooled,
9.0L, 320 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 9980:
•Two- or four-wheel drive
•Off-loading Conveying System (OCS) or
dump basket
•6-, 8-, or 10-row header.

2 09/16/15 MAN141

9980 Self-Propelled Peanut Combine Safety
Safety Practices
Transport Machine Safely
•Comply with state and local laws.
•Be familiar with tractor operations and
follow all safety instructions in the tractor’s
manual.
•Before moving away, always check
immediate vicinity (e.g., for children).
•NEVER exceed a maximum speed of 20
MPH.
•Always adapt ground speed to road or
field conditions, making sure you have
adequate control of steering and stopping.
•Avoid sharp turns, holes, ditches, and
obstructions which may cause the tractor
to tip, particularly on hillsides.
•Use following tow load weight ratios as
guidelines:
20 MPH when weight is less than or
equal to the weight of the tractor
10 MPH when weight is more than
weight of the tractor
•NEVER tow a load more than double the
weight of the tractor!
•Sudden braking can cause a towed load
to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if
towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid Electrical Power Lines
•Make sure all components are secured in
the proper position before transporting
machine (for example: basket bin lip
extension, mower deck, off-loading
conveyor, etc.).
•AVOID all lines, particularly low-hanging
electrical cables, during transport.
DANGER
Contact with electrical lines will cause the
operator to suffer severe electrical shock
or possibly death.
Use a Safety Chain
•Use a safety chain to help control
machinery if it separates from the tractor
drawbar.
•Use a chain with strength rating equal to
greater than the gross weight of the
towed machine.
•Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar
support, allowing only enough slack in
the chain for turning.
•Do NOT use a safety chain for towing.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids
CAUTION
•Use extreme care when working with
hydraulic components and high pressure
sprays.
•Escaping fluid or spray under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
•To avoid injury, relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
•Tighten all connections before applying
hydraulic or spray pressure.
•Search hoses/connections for leaks with a
piece of cardboard.
•Take appropriate safety measures to
protect hands, body, and face from high
pressure fluids.
•Always wear appropriate safety gear to
protect hands, body and face from
exposure to high pressure fluids.
•Never try to block the flow or search for
leaks of high pressure fluids with your
hands even if wearing gloves. High
pressure fluids can penetrate gloves as well
as your skin.
•Always avoid direct contact of any high
pressure fluid low.
•If an accident occurs, respond as follows:
oSeek medical treatment
immediately. Any fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
oAlert the medical professionals that
a fluid injection or high pressure
spray injury has occurred.
oGive information on the type of fluid
or spray and time the accident
occurred. If known, include the
amount of fluid injected and/or the
system injection pressure.
oSurgery will most likely be required,
so no food or drink for the affected
person.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable medical
source. Such information is available in
English from Deere & Company Medical
Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A., by
