Claas unloading auger end spouts?

[Pilatus]

I have seen Claas Lexion with a straight down end spout, as shown in attached photo.
Do the above type of spout fill the trailer more centrally than the popular angled end spout?
Any idea how much the straight down spout costs?
Many thanks for any info.

Can find the part number for you next week unless someone else knows it from the top of their head.
It is only the additional 45 degree bend that makes it 90.
Yes it will fill a trailer more centrally but it will also move the point where your trailers need to be as there is no throw ie. if you currently straddle your straw, putting one of these in will result in you driving on the swath.
From memory they are a few hundred quid inc all nuts and bolts.

Just bought one for a 2018 770 as to much throw into root trailers meant spilling for some drivers and don’t want to slow it as why waste time beside a combine for 5+ mins. But cost £185 ish with no bolts

At the moment if tractor / grain trailer straddles swath angled spout throws grain to far over leading to spillage.
I therefore do not have unloading auger fully extended when unloading which is not at all satisfactory.
I was wondering if 90 o spout might partly overcome the problem.

Should do the job. What spout and what header do you have?

30ft cut and angled spout , sorry I can’t be more precise.

Potentially a 3xl spout then. It may well cure it but depending on full circumstances you may still just run on the straw with the left hand wheels on tractor.

Thanks. I will have a look at Claas parts list on line, but that may not be as easy at it sounds, as Claas parts list are not that easy to navigate.

If you can’t find it I will on Monday when back in the office

can you not get a sock made with some lorry sheet or the like, will be cheaper than a bit of plastic off helmut

We've a 3xl with an angled end with a 770 cutterbar to get the trailer completely out with the bout of straw and it hits the trailer at a fair angle so makes loading more difficult but at least there's only the endrigs that have a wheel anywhere near them

I made an extension out of a 205ltr plastic drum last year cut it in half painted it black and folded it round works really well.

We’ve used a short length of tractor tyre inner tube for atleast the last 15yrs and it’s never let us down yet. Drops it straight down and stops osr blowing sideways in the wind

What model is that on? We have 3xl with 90 degree end and 680 header but it’s tight to clear the swath completely

Lexion 750 and the same on a 650 before it I'm sure it's a 770 header the old model was a 750 header

Ours is a 650. I expect it’s better on the 750 as I guess the swath would be more dence and smaller

It was fine on the 650 as well but it does fairly fire it across the trailer when you're loading off the end of the spout is just about not above the trailer it's very close to the edge

I wasn't thinking the 650 was only a 6.6m cut so that made all the difference so with a 90 degree turn you'll never get completely off the straw
