Description
The Vermeer 605N Round Baler is a variable-chamber round hay baler designed for high-capacity baling, with a 5 ft x 6 ft bale configuration, 61-inch bale width, 1000-rpm driveline, netwrap system and flotation tires as identified in this product listing. Built with durable, heavy-duty components, the 605N combines a dual-stage bale chamber with an E-Link Pro control system to support consistent bale formation and straightforward operation. It is suited to hay and forage operations that need flexible bale sizing, substantial bale capacity and a wide pickup for collecting windrows efficiently.
High-Capacity Variable-Chamber Baling
The Vermeer 605N produces variable-diameter round bales from 36 to 72 inches, allowing bale size to be matched to crop conditions, handling preferences and storage requirements. Its 61-inch bale width supports substantial material collection, while the dual-stage bale chamber is designed for high-capacity baling performance. The maximum listed bale weight is 2,400 lb, depending on crop and operating conditions.
A cammed wide pickup with 65 double rubber-mounted pickup teeth helps collect material across a generous pickup area. The pickup measures 77 inches tooth to tooth and 90 inches across the outside flare. The standard right-hand door provides access to the bale chamber, while an optional hydraulic bale ramp can assist with bale discharge.
Control and Driveline Features
The 605N includes the E-Link Pro control system with a 7-inch color touchscreen display. ISOBUS capability is standard, supporting integration with compatible tractor and implement control systems. This listed configuration uses the 1000-rpm driveline with cut-out clutch. Vermeer also lists a 540-rpm standard-lube friction-clutch driveline for the 605N product family.
