Page 9: Principles Of Peanut Harvest
PRINCIPLES OF PEANUT HARVEST 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 peanuts 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 15: Picking Cylinders
PICKING CYLINDERS 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, therefore it is important to keep a constant and adequate supply of material flowing into the combine to minimize damage and shelling of peanuts. - Page 16 Figure 15 UPPER STRIPPER ADJUSTMENT The aggressiveness of the picking cylinders can be Figure 17 LEFT SIDE LOWER STRIPPERS adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of NOTE: Use a 15/16” wrench to make adjustments strippers engaged in the picking cylinders.
