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.
