Description
Vermeer 604 Pro G4 Round Baler is a variable-chamber round baler configured for 4-foot-wide bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter. This specification combines a standard 540-rpm driveline, standard netwrap system, spring-loaded bale ramp, no-chopping operation and pickup flotation with a camless wide pickup. Designed for hay producers who need dependable bale formation, adjustable bale size and efficient field operation, the 604 Pro G4 supports bale production up to 2,400 pounds and provides hydraulic pickup lift, Atlas Pro controls and a drop floor to help improve crop flow and clear plugs.
Product Overview
The Vermeer 604 Pro G4 uses a variable-chamber design to produce bales with a 48-inch width and adjustable diameter between 36 and 72 inches. Its 73-inch tooth-to-tooth pickup width and 78-inch outside-flare width help collect the windrow, while the camless wide pickup and hydraulic lift support convenient operation in the field.
This configuration is equipped for netwrapped, no-chopping baling. The standard netwrap system includes a net gauge and net-tension control, while the spring-loaded bale ramp assists with bale discharge. The 17-knife chopping system can be operated with both knife banks lowered, allowing the baler to produce unchopped bales without knives engaged.

Baling Performance and Operation

Its wide pickup is supported by spring-assisted flotation gauge wheels, helping the pickup follow field contours while collecting crop.
