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 peanuts from the vines, placing the pods in a stor- age tank on top of the machine, and return the vines to the ground. The combine must be pulled and powered by a farm tractor. -

FUNDAMENTALS FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE: 1. The peanut vines must not be too green or good B. Select a ground speed that will not overload separation will be slow and difficult. the combine. Too much ground speed is 2. Moisture content of the peanut should not be too one of the greatest causes of poor perform- high or too low, otherwise increased damage or ance in separation. -

Underneath each cylinder is a cylinder concave, the rear four are floating concaves. They may need adjusting to achieve the proper clearance between the cylinder spring and the concave. To make this adjustment back off the adjustment nut on the setscrew on bottom of the concave until the springs miss the concave by 9/16 inch for runner peanuts and 3/4 inch for Virginia type nuts. -
Page 31: 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. -
Page 32: Screen Adjustment
SCREEN ADJUSTMENT CLOD SCREEN The openings are controlled by two levers in the center of the screen, see figure 20. The purpose of the chaffer is to separate the peanuts from materials that are close in size and weight to the peanut. Although vine and field condi- tions will influence the final setting of the chaffer the following recommendations are made for initial start-up. -

Page 35: Separation Fan Adjustment
SEPARTION FAN ADJUSTMENT 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, air then blows the hay and foreign material out the back. There- fore, the right combination of air for conditions must be determined. -
Page 36: 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. -

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 45: 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. The following chart shows points that require lubri- cation and the intervals at which they require it. The cylinder bearings on the combine are prelubed and non-re-lubricatable. - Page 46 Double Swivel Gearbox Oil should be changed after the first 30 to 50 hours of operation, then every 500 hours or annually.
