Vermeer 604 Pro G4 Round Baler – 4' x 6', 540 RPM, Netwrap, Ramp, 17-Knife, Floats, SC Package [604993841]

The Vermeer 604 Pro G4 Round Baler is a variable-chamber round baler designed to produce consistent 4-ft-wide bales for demanding forage operations. This catalogue configuration features a 540-rpm PTO driveline, standard rear-load netwrap, a spring-loaded bale ramp, a 17-knife chopping system, flotation tires, and the SC Package designation. Its 36- to 72-in bale diameter range provides flexibility for different forage and handling requirements, while the camless wide pickup, Atlas Pro control system, and drop floor with cab-controlled plug clearing support efficient day-to-day operation.

Built for Flexible Forage Production

The 604 Pro G4 forms bales 48 in wide with adjustable diameters from 36 to 72 in. The variable-chamber design allows operators to select bale size according to crop conditions, storage plans, and handling needs. The baler can produce bales weighing up to 2,400 lb, depending on crop and operating conditions.

A camless wide pickup helps gather forage across a 73-in tooth-to-tooth width and 78-in outside flare width. The pickup uses 75 double rubber-mounted teeth across five tooth bars, with 7.10-16 HD semi-pneumatic gauge wheels and spring assist to support pickup flotation. Hydraulic pickup lift is included for convenient field operation and transport preparation.

Cutting, Wrapping, and Bale Handling

This configuration includes a 17-knife chopping system for processing forage before it enters the bale chamber. The standard rear-load netwrap system incorporates a net gauge and net-tension control through the baler control system. Once the bale is formed and wrapped, the spring-loaded bale ramp assists with bale discharge.

The bale chamber uses four endless belts, each 11.2 in wide. A drop floor with cab-controlled plug clearing helps the operator address crop plugs from the tractor cab. Bale shape indicators and a digital bale-density gauge are standard features, providing useful information during baling.

Operator Control and Driveline

The Atlas Pro control system uses a 7-in color touchscreen for machine operation and monitoring. ISOBUS capability is standard. The supplied configuration is equipped with a 540-rpm PTO driveline, with standard lubrication and a cut-out clutch. A 1,000-rpm driveline is identified as an optional configuration, not as part of this listed 540-rpm product configuration.
