,The 680B is a very nice combine, but it's also big and bulky. With 12 row corn head I was unable to turn around and come right back in without backing up. Also the tank unloader was not as fast as advertised. Its a very heavy machine and wtih the 12 row corn head the snouts seemed to run at a 45 degree angle to the ground. I couldn't find any way to tip the feeder house back. There were some things that weren't working right on this one. (typical of a new mahine) Tank unloader buzzer and lite didn't work and no window or mirror to see how full so we ran it over a few times. The tank unloading auger is not as high as my gleaner with turret and while being demonstrated at a neighboring farm they caught it on the back of the grain cart and bent it and the hydraulic cylinder that pivots it. Mostly I thought it just had too much high tech compared to the Gleaner R65, at least more than I care to have to handle.
