Description
The Vermeer 504R Signature Round Baler is a variable-chamber round baler designed for producers who bale dry hay and need the capability to handle heavy, wet hay when conditions require it. This 4-ft by 5-ft configuration is specified with twine, netwrap, and a spring-loaded bale ramp, providing flexible bale-finishing and unloading options for hay and silage operations. Its 60-in camless wide pickup, six-belt bale-forming system, real-time moisture sensing, and Atlas Pro control system support consistent bale formation and informed field operation.
Built for Dry Hay and Silage Baling
The 504R Signature forms square-shouldered bales with a variable diameter from 36 to 60 inches and a fixed bale width of 47 inches. The six standard mini rough-top belts support dense bale formation, while the wide pickup is designed to gather material across a 60-inch pickup width. The camless pickup design and tooth-to-tooth pickup measurement provide a clear specification for matching the baler to the windrows and field conditions in your operation.
Configured for Twine, Netwrap, and Ramp Handling
This product configuration specifies twine, netwrap, and a bale ramp. Vermeer identifies each of these systems as available options for the 504R Signature. The twine and netwrap systems provide two bale-finishing methods, while the spring-loaded bale ramp supports bale discharge after wrapping. The specified ramp configuration increases the machine length to 169 inches, while the netwrap configuration has a listed length of 173 inches.
Operator Control and Moisture Information
Real-time moisture sensing is standard and provides moisture readings up to 29%, helping operators monitor crop conditions during baling. The Atlas Pro control system uses a 7-inch color touchscreen for machine operation and information display. Mechanical net-tension adjustment is included among the model’s listed features, and extra roll storage is standard.
