Built for Consistent Bale Formation
The 604S Premium uses six Premium mini rough-top belts and consistent belt pressure throughout the baling process to support well-shaped, dense bales. Its variable-chamber design accommodates bale diameters from 36 to 72 inches, allowing the operator to select the bale size suited to the crop and handling requirements. The 47-inch bale width provides the manufacturer-specified working format for this model.
Pickup and Control System
The camless wide pickup has a 69-inch tooth-to-tooth width and an 82-inch width outside the flair. Seventy double rubber-mounted teeth help gather windrowed material for the baling chamber. Operation is managed through the Atlas Pro control system, which includes a 7-inch color touchscreen and provides access to density adjustment, bale statistics and moisture information. Moisture monitoring is standard and measures up to 29%.
Configured Bale-Handling Features
The supplied product description identifies this variant with a scale, net lift and Auto-Eject. The scale system uses three load cells to support bale weighing. The net lift system is designed as an optional net-handling feature, while Auto-Eject opens and closes the tailgate without operator assistance. The machine also includes a hydraulic bale ramp and LED maintenance lights. Slope Sense is included in the supplied variant name, but its installation on product code 604885891 is not independently confirmed in the current official 604S Premium product sources.
