The Vermeer 504R Classic Round Baler – 4 ft x 5 ft, Netwrap, Ramp is a variable-chamber round baler configured for dependable hay production by part-time operators and value-focused users. Its 36–60 in variable bale diameter range supports flexible bale sizing, while the 47 in bale width and 60 in camless wide pickup help gather material efficiently. This catalogue configuration includes netwrap and a bolt-on bale ramp, providing a practical setup for producing and handling dense, consistent round bales with a tractor equipped for the required PTO output.

Reliable Variable-Chamber Baling

The 504R Classic forms bales from 36 to 60 in in diameter using five mini rough-top belts, each 6.8 in wide. This variable-chamber design gives operators the flexibility to select bale dimensions suited to their crop, handling, and storage requirements. The machine produces bales up to 47 in wide with a maximum bale weight of 1,000 lb.

Crop pickup is handled by a 60 in tooth-to-tooth camless wide pickup with four tooth bars and 48 double steel-coil teeth. The wide pickup is designed to collect windrows across the baler’s working width, while the camless design provides the specified pickup configuration for this model.

Netwrap and Bale Ramp Configuration

This product record identifies the machine with both netwrap and a bale ramp. The netwrap system uses a friction-pan feed system onto the main belts and supports standard and over-width netwrap capability, with one-roll net storage. The bolt-on, spring-loaded bale ramp assists with bale handling after ejection and is identified as an optional configuration for the 504R Classic.

The supplied configuration is listed as a 4 ft x 5 ft class baler with netwrap and ramp. Manufacturer specifications list these items as options for the 504R Classic, while this product listing identifies them as included in the specific catalogue configuration.

Operator Controls and Driveline

An Atlas control system with a 4.3 in color touchscreen provides the specified control interface. The baler uses a 540-rpm driveline with standard lubrication and a radial-pin clutch. A manual pickup lift is standard, while hydraulic pickup lift operation is available as an option.
