Built for Flexible Hay Baling
The 504R Signature uses a variable bale chamber to form bales between 36 and 60 inches in diameter. Its 47-inch bale width suits the 4-ft-class configuration identified for this product, while the six-belt design supports the bale-forming system. The standard mini rough-top belt configuration provides the specified belt arrangement for this model.
The camless wide pickup measures 60 inches tooth-to-tooth and uses five tooth bars with 60 double steel coil teeth. Pickup flotation is provided by 4.8-16 HD semi-pneumatic gauge wheels with spring assist, helping support pickup operation across changing field conditions. Manual pickup lift is standard, with hydraulic pickup lift available as an option.
Control, Monitoring and Bale Handling
The Atlas Pro control system features a 7-inch color touchscreen for baler operation. Real-time moisture monitoring is standard up to 29%, giving operators moisture information during baling. Two standard bale-shape indicators help monitor bale formation as the chamber fills.
The listed configuration supports both twine and netwrap systems. The netwrap system includes mechanical net-tension adjustment and standard extra-roll storage. A spring-loaded bale ramp is also supported, providing an option for handling completed bales as they leave the baler.
