Using John Deere 8530 with KMC flex shaker and a John Deere 4960 with Amadas 2100 to harvest green peanuts. #farming #Amadas #tractor #peanut #georgiagrown
Great memories dude!!! Bluffton ga in the mid 80s open cab tractor with a two row hustler. So much dirt in ya noise you could plant taters in each nostril!
I grew up in the transition. Until I was 6 or 8 grandpa ran 10-12 High Caps….most pulled by open cabs. They switched to 5 or 6 Lillihston 9004s and then to 3 Amadas….same acreage.
I remember standing on the trailer with the shovel guy in the late 80s/early 90s. When we would knock off everyone was so dirty you couldn’t tell who was black and who was white.
The Amadas will leave some tails on the nuts….but I think that is variety specific b/c Hardy Brothers in Hawkinsville, Ga (the largest green peanut seller) picks theirs with Amadas 20 minutes behind the shaker.
Thanks for the feedback, I am thinking about upgrading pickers due to the amount of runner peanuts I am going to have next year and I would prefer a picker that is capable of doing both green and dry to keep maintenance costs lower.
@@fletchergreen353 i haven’t yet seen a Colombo pick green nuts, but in dry nuts there is WAY less parts and maintenance on a Colombo and they pick the cleanest nuts bar none. They don’t put anything in the basket that isn’t a peanut.
I know over here in al it’s been so dry we plowed up peanuts and then two days later we’re running the picker through if not the peanuts just fall off the vine
@@PatrickShivers 2110 unload on the go on an 8285R, then we have a 8420 on a kmc 3376. The two tractors on the diggers are an 8360R and a 8410 on 6 row diggers, 8400 o the peanut buggy. We move our own peanut trailers with two Mack’s
Who do you ship to? I would like to try your product, but only yours, if I can find it in the northern part of the South. 60 miles south of the Capital, the District of Confusion.
I sell beef, sweet peas, potatoes, green beans, southern peas, pumpkins, and popcorn direct to end consumer. My corn, soybeans, and peanuts are sold by the ton or 1,000 bushel weight and get mixed with everyone else’s.
Hey I worked for a fella few yrs back we had a 2100 and 2110. The 2110 would have a bunch of big pinky to pointer finger shape and sized vines in the basket. How would I go about making it blow them out the back. More rpms or fan setting or both. I can setup a imc alot better than an amadas, or I've rhad alot more experience with a kmc anyhow
Setting peanut pickers is all about experience. If you watch my videos from previous 2 peanut seasons we are running a 2110, two 2100s, and a Columbo. The 2100 I’m running here does a little different than the other 2100. You have to experiment with each machine to get it fine tuned. If I had the situation you described I would start by lowering the tail board a little so as to let more material out the back.
@@PatrickShivers ok thanks. It's setup as close to the 2100 as we can get it but they are two diff pickers w the 2110 being the new one to us and like you said we had two 3386 kmcs two serial numbers apart few yrs back that would pick a good bit diff
You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!
This guy is genius. A wealth of ag information and a walking university...UofPat! Thanks for the vids, Pat.
I’m just an average farmer with a GoPro
Hello, Patrick! Peanuts harvest explained...
Love thos Georgia boiled peanuts..wishing you a blessed harvest Patrick..😊
Thanks!
Enjoyed the video Patrick! God bless you
Thanks Greg
Hey Patrick you thought that was deer eating your p nuts well!!! They are my fav. God speed
Use to pick um with a 4430 open station and a two row. Good memories
Witnessed that very thing growing up. We still have the 4430, but the 2 row Hi-Caps are ling gone.
Go Patrick. Stay cool.

Nice! Let the peanuts roll!
I sell green and boiled peanuts on my farm, we use a old two row hustler picker but it looks like that Amandas did fantastic

My dry land nuts are looking tough. I hope I can get them out of ground.
Some boiled goobers don’t sound too bad right about now!
Impressive, even w/o it completely dialed in, how efficient that machine is at separating the peanuts from the vine.
In the right conditions it’ll do 20 acres a day or about 2 full 18 wheeler van (tall) trailers
Almost all our peanuts are almost thrashed we plant Virginia’s baily twos
What kind of pickers do y’all use?

I forgot about pecans. Also sell them direct to end consumer. Popcorn is the easiest to mail.
@@PatrickShivers is your email available for orders?

sell some to my Dad, he needs a new supply 🥜🥜🥜
Your dad is a peanut boiling legend
What do you think your peanuts will yield?
To early to tell. Got to load some trailers and see some weight tickets
I hope the yield is over 3 ton!
