FORWARD INTRODUCTION The KMC Peanut Combine is designed to be used for the removal of peanut pods from peanut vines which have been uprooted. It will then separate the peanut pods from the vines, placing the pods in a storage tank on top of the machine, and return the vines to the ground. The combine must be pulled and powered by a farm tractor. -

Page 21: Fundamentals For Good Performance
FUNDAMENTALS FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE 1. The peanut vines must not be too green or good the combine. Too much ground speed is one separation will be slow and difficult. of the greatest causes of poor performance in 2. Moisture content of the peanut should not be too separation. -

Pick-Up Auger Adjustment and Operation The purpose of the auger is to transfer vines to the center of the machine after they have been lifted by the pickup reel. PROPER VINE FLOW IS IMPORTANT AND ALLOWS THE PICKING AND SEPARATION SYSTEMS TO PERFORM EFFICIENTLY AND SAVE MORE PEANUTS. -
Page 27: Header Feed Roller
In small vines which feed well under the auger, it may be necessary to move the au- ger to the rear and/or lower it to prevent vines from wrapping or building in the trough. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT VINES FEED FROM THE BACK OF THE AUGER! Header Feed Roller The hexagon roller comes standard on... -
Page 28: Cylinder Speed Adjustment
Cylinder Speed Adjustment After the windrow has been picked up it moves into a series of cylinders which are equipped with spring tines that pull the peanuts off the vines. The cylinders are rotating at a high rate of speed, there- fore it is important to keep a constant and adequate supply of material flowing into the combine to min- imize damage and shelling of peanuts. -
Page 29: Separation System
DO NOT USE UPPER STRIPPERS IN DRY PEANUTS. This usually results fewer LSK’s. It is important to balance ground speed and stripper engagement to minimize LSK’s and damage. NOTE: As conditions change from morning to afternoon strippers may need to be removed to minimize damage. -

Only do this on a concrete or similar hard and level surface. Use jack or crane with a minimum 8-ton capacity to lift each side, and use solid blocks to support combine after lifting. Stay clear of combine while lifting and lowering, and only perform work on combine when it is fully resting on solid blocks.

Page 33: Separation Fan Adjustment
SEPARTION FAN ADJUSTMENT Separation Fan Drive: The MAIN FAN is an essential part of the separation process. The principle of separation is air and gravity. As the peanuts and foreign material fall from the agitator rods onto the cleaning shoe, gravity begins to pull the peanuts downward, and air then blows the hay and foreign material out the back. -
Page 34: Stemmer Saws
STEMMER SAWS As the peanuts fall from the chaffer they fall STEMMER SAWS onto a set of stemmer saws. These saws remove the stems from the peanuts and dispose of the vine fragments. The saws turn in opposite direc- tion which rotates most all peanuts into position for stem removal. -
Page 35: Electronic Control System
ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM Your new Peanut Harvester is equipped with a state-of-the-art control system. The control system was designed to improve combine performance by bringing controls and sensing inside the cab. This allows rapid and effortless adjustments to be made on the go, resulting in more run time. -

Page 40: Combine Tank
COMBINE TANK DANGER NEVER LIFT TANK WHILE UNDERNEATH POWER LINES Figure 31 COMBINE TANK The tank is located on top of the combine. Care should be taken not to over fill the tank as excess peanuts will plug the delivery system and eventually spill on to the ground. The tank is emptied by two hydraulic cylinders which lift the bottom of the tank until it reaches a vertical position. -

Page 46: Lubrication Points
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION POINTS There are certain things which need daily or regular attention to keep your combine in good operating condition. Lubrication is the most important of these. KMC recommends all bearings use good lithium #2 grease. Do NOT use moly grease in bearings. The following chart shows points that require lubrication and the intervals at which they require it. - Page 47 Double Swivel Gearbox Oil should be changed after the first 30 to 50 hours of operation, then every 500 hours or annually. The recommended oil is KMC part # 03-050-080. Figure 37 DOUBLE SWIVEL GEARBOX Upper Header Gearbox Figure 38 HEADER GEARBOX...
