The Vermeer 605N Cornstalk Special Baler is a heavy-duty variable-chamber round baler designed for demanding cornstalk conditions. This configured 5' x 6' baler combines an open-throat vertical bale chamber, cammed wide pickup, premium mini rough-top belts, standard netwrap, an Inline^® ramp, flotation tires, scale, powered windguard, LED work and maintenance lights, and a fire extinguisher. With a 1,000-rpm PTO driveline and a minimum tractor requirement of 150 hp, it is built for producers and custom operators who need to form dense, consistent bales efficiently through tough crop residue.

Built for demanding cornstalk conditions

The 605N Cornstalk Special uses a variable-chamber, open-throat vertical bale-forming design with eight premium mini rough-top belts. This configuration supports bale production from 36 to 72 inches in diameter and 61 inches wide, with a maximum bale weight of 2,400 lb. Heavy-duty components and a friction pickup torque-protection system with slip sensing help support operation in demanding crop conditions.

Wide pickup and controlled crop handling

The cammed wide pickup provides a 77-inch tooth-to-tooth working width and a 90-inch outside-flare width. Its 65 double rubber-mounted teeth are spaced 3-1/16 inches apart to help gather the windrow across the pickup area. A powered windguard is included in this Cornstalk Special configuration, supporting controlled material flow into the bale chamber.

Operator control and bale handling

The E-Link Pro control system uses a 7-inch color touchscreen for simple operation and monitoring. Standard bale-shape indicators help the operator manage bale formation, while standard moisture sensing measures moisture up to 27%. The standard netwrap system includes mechanical net-tension adjustment and extra-roll storage. A scale is listed as standard for the Cornstalk Special catalogue configuration, providing useful bale-weight information during field operation.

The configured baler includes an Inline^® ramp. The 605N platform also uses a standard hydraulic bale ramp, with the Inline ramp identified as an available configuration option. Standard Auto Lube greasing supports routine maintenance, and LED maintenance/work lights improve visibility for service and operation in lower-light conditions.
