AMADAS Industries has introduced two new pieces of equipment for the 2026 peanut harvest season: the AMADAS Bulldog Digger and the AMADAS 2130 Pull-Type Peanut Combine. Both machines were unveiled to dealers in December 2025 and feature significant design updates aimed at improving harvesting efficiency, reducing crop loss and simplifying operation.
The AMADAS Bulldog Digger is a completely redesigned digger/inverter which features a new chassis that improves structural integrity, weight distribution and overall balance for enhanced digging performance.
The Bulldog Digger is a completely redesigned digger/inverter featuring a new chassis that improves structural integrity, weight distribution and overall balance for enhanced digging performance. Engineers also focused on protecting yield by redesigning the shank and blade mounting system, improving crop flow through the machine and refining the inversion system. New bent inverting rods and updated fender geometry are designed to produce a more consistent inversion and tighter, more uniform windrow while minimizing crop damage.
The new digger also incorporates several changes intended to improve day-to-day operation and maintenance. Conveyor visibility has been enhanced, belt tensioning has been simplified, shielding provides quicker service access, and greaseless bearings help reduce routine maintenance. A distributed multi-motor drive system is designed to provide reliable performance across a range of field conditions, while the redesigned frame allows the machine to operate efficiently with smaller-frame tractors. Growers also have several configuration options, including a chain-and-bar conveyor and firming roller, allowing the machine to be tailored to individual harvesting preferences.
The AMADAS 2130 pull-type peanut combine features an integrated 10,000-pound peanut tank that allows for longer harvesting intervals between unloading. AMADAS 2130 is also equipped with a redesigned header system featuring feeder house-style height control, level operation, quick-detach capability and compatibility with both 6-36 and 6-38 row configurations.
In addition to the Bulldog Digger, AMADAS introduced the Model 2130 pull-type peanut combine, which includes several updates designed to improve harvesting capacity and operator convenience. The combine features an integrated 10,000-pound peanut tank that allows for longer harvesting intervals between unloading. A redesigned sliding tank also improves access to the picking cylinders for service and maintenance.
The Model 2130 also includes a high-capacity unloading system that increases unloading speed, along with a double-swivel tongue gearbox to improve maneuverability and simplify hitching. A next-generation technology package provides in-cab harvesting adjustments and intelligent machine sensing, while a high-definition camera system offers rear-facing and in-tank views to improve operator visibility.
Additional design changes include heavy-duty construction with CNC-punched panels, a stainless-steel peanut duct and larger service access panels. The combine is also equipped with a redesigned header system featuring feeder house-style height control, level operation, quick-detach capability and compatibility with both 6-36 and 6-38 row configurations. Poly header bands and a larger auger with a deeper trough are intended to improve peanut capture and feeding efficiency during harvest.
The Bulldog Digger and Model 2130 Pull-Type Peanut Combine will be available for the 2026 peanut harvest season through AMADAS dealers.
