Description
The Vermeer 504R Signature Round Baler is a variable-chamber baler designed to produce consistent, square-shouldered round bales for hay-season productivity. This supplied configuration is specified for twine and netwrap and forms bales from 36 to 60 inches in diameter, with a 47-inch bale width—matching the nominal 4 ft × 5 ft format in the product listing. Built with Vermeer’s Atlas Pro control system, a 5-bar camless wide pickup, standard moisture sensing, bale-shape indicators, and six 3-ply mini rough-top belts, the 504R Signature provides practical control over bale formation and tying operations. It is designed for tractors delivering a minimum of 45 PTO hp, with 55 PTO hp recommended.

Designed for Consistent Bale Formation
The 504R Signature uses a variable bale-forming chamber to produce bale diameters from 36 to 60 inches. This range allows the baler to accommodate different crop conditions and bale-size requirements while maintaining the supplied 47-inch bale width. The six 6.8-inch-wide, 3-ply mini rough-top belts support bale formation inside the chamber, while the standard bale-shape indicators help the operator monitor formation during operation.
Pickup and Crop Handling
A 5-bar camless wide pickup gathers material across a 60-inch tooth-to-tooth width. The pickup uses 60 double steel-coil teeth to collect the windrow. Manual pickup lift is standard, with hydraulic pickup lift available as an option. The standard tires are 31 × 13.5-15, while optional 480-45 R17 flotation tires are available for the specified model.
Control and Moisture Monitoring
The Atlas Pro control system provides baler operation through a 7-inch color touchscreen. Standard moisture sensing supplies readings up to 29%, helping the operator monitor crop moisture during baling. The 504R Signature also includes two standard bale-shape indicators for observing bale development as the chamber fills.
Twine and Netwrap Configuration
This listing identifies the baler as a twine and netwrap model. The manufacturer catalogue identifies both the twine tie system and the netwrap system as optional equipment for the 504R Signature. An optional silage kit is also available for the model.
Tractor Requirements
The Vermeer 504R Signature requires a tractor with a minimum PTO rating of 45 hp (33.6 kW). A 55 hp (41 kW) PTO rating is recommended. The driveline is specified for 540 rpm operation.
