Description
Vermeer 504R Premium Round Baler is a variable-chamber round baler designed to produce consistent, square-shouldered bales for demanding hay-season workloads. This 4-ft x 5-ft configuration combines a 5-bar camless wide pickup, standard netwrap system, Goodyear Rock belts, bale ramp, silage kit, Atlas Pro control system, and moisture and bale-shape sensors. It produces bales measuring 36–60 inches in diameter by 47 inches wide, giving operators flexibility across hay and silage applications while supporting dependable bale formation and handling.
Built for Consistent Bale Formation
The Vermeer 504R Premium uses a variable-chamber design to form bales from 36 to 60 inches in diameter. Its 47-inch bale width creates compact, manageable bales suited to a range of forage conditions. The 5-bar camless pickup provides a 60-inch tooth-to-tooth working width, with an outside-flare width of 68.5 inches, helping gather forage efficiently across the windrow.
Standard Goodyear Rock belts are specified for this configuration, while the standard netwrap system helps secure completed bales. The standard bolt-on spring-loaded bale ramp supports bale discharge, and the standard silage kit makes the baler silage-ready.
Operator Control and Monitoring
The Atlas Pro control system provides the operating interface for the baler. Standard moisture sensors and bale-shape sensors help monitor bale conditions and formation during operation. A standard hydraulic pickup lift supports convenient pickup adjustment from the tractor, while standard grease banks simplify routine lubrication access. An optional Auto Lube greasing system is also available.
