Description
Vermeer 504R Signature Round Baler is a variable-chamber baler designed to produce consistent 4-ft x 5-ft round bales for haymaking operations. With a 36–60 in (91–150 cm) adjustable bale diameter range and a 47 in (120 cm) bale width, it provides flexibility for different crop and handling requirements. This 504R Signature configuration is identified with netwrap, a bale ramp and flotation equipment, and features Vermeer’s camless wide pickup, Atlas Pro control system, real-time moisture sensing and bale-shape indicators. It is suitable for tractors supplying a minimum of 45 PTO hp, with 55 PTO hp recommended, and operates at 540 rpm.
Built for Consistent Bale Formation
The variable bale chamber supports bale production from 36 to 60 in in diameter, while the 47 in bale width is designed for 4-ft x 5-ft bale production. Two standard bale-shape indicators help the operator monitor bale formation, while standard moisture sensing provides real-time readings up to 29%. These features help support informed baling decisions as crop conditions change.
Crop pickup is handled by a 5-bar camless wide pickup fitted with 60 double steel-coil teeth. The teeth are spaced 2.83 in apart across the 60 in pickup width, helping gather a broad windrow. Standard 4.8-16 HD semi-pneumatic gauge wheels with spring assist provide pickup flotation, while the standard-lubrication driveline uses a friction clutch.
Operator Control and Baling Features
The Atlas Pro control system is operated through a 7 in colour touchscreen. Standard extra net-roll storage provides additional carrying capacity for net rolls. The listed configuration includes netwrap, a bale ramp and flotation equipment; Vermeer identifies the netwrap system and bale ramp as available Signature options, while flotation is provided through gauge-wheel and tire equipment.
