Haha i knew it was a 680. I have no clue why it said 690 The canola did okay with yields from 30-40 Bu a acre.

Id imagine they call it a plowing disk too. We call it a breaking disk.
The special unloading spout is Calmar spout. It shoots the grain straight down versus the previous one were it would shout about 2feet out. Many farmers across the Canadian prairies are switching to Calmar spouts due to the amount of swathed grain we harvest. As we don't yet use a straight cut header.

So what is the advantage to that spout? To get in between swaths better? And that's a good crop. What all did everything else do? Barley down here was amazing on irrigation.

Basically the advantage of the spout is better aim. It shoots strait down. Most guys with newer combines in my area use one. Dallas we grow Canola,wheat,barley and oats. I loved the s680 its so quite.
