Vermeer 504R Classic Round Baler – 4' x 5', Manual/Electric Twine is a variable-chamber round hay baler designed for dependable part-time and full-time baling applications. This Vermeer 504R Classic configuration uses a manual/electric twine controller and twine tie system to produce consistent 36–60 in diameter by 47 in wide bales. Its 60 in pickup, five mini rough-top belts, Atlas control system, and 540-rpm PTO driveline support efficient hay collection and bale formation for operators seeking practical performance and straightforward operation.

Product Overview

The 504R Classic forms variable-size round bales from 36 to 60 in in diameter, allowing bale size to be selected for the intended handling, storage, and feeding application. A 4-bar camless wide pickup uses 48 double steel-coil teeth across a 60 in tooth-to-tooth working width to collect hay into the bale chamber. Manual pickup lift is standard, while a hydraulic pickup lift is available as an option.

This product variant is configured with Vermeer’s manual/electric twine controller and twine tie system. The optional twine system includes a single-arm feed mechanism, adjustable spring-loaded twine tension plates, and storage for four balls of twine. A netwrap system is also available as an option, but the listed configuration is specified for twine.
