Description
The Vermeer 605N Round Baler is a variable-chamber round hay baler configured for 5-ft x 6-ft bales, a North American 540-rpm PTO driveline, twine, netwrap, and a bale ramp. Built with durable, heavy-duty components, the 605N combines a dual-stage bale chamber, eight forming belts, premium mini rough-top belts, and a 61-inch bale width to support high-capacity hay baling. Its E-Link Pro control system with a 7-inch color touchscreen, standard bale-shape indicators, and moisture monitoring up to 27% provide useful information during operation, while the hydraulic pickup lift and optional hydraulic bale ramp support field productivity and bale handling.
Built for High-Capacity Hay Baling
The Vermeer 605N is designed to produce variable-size round bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter, allowing operators to select bale dimensions to suit crop conditions, handling preferences, and storage requirements. The 61-inch bale width provides a substantial bale profile, while the dual-stage bale chamber and eight forming belts support consistent bale formation as material enters the chamber.
Premium mini rough-top belts help support the baling process, and standard bale-shape indicators provide an at-a-glance reference while forming each bale. The baler also includes standard moisture monitoring up to 27%, helping operators monitor crop moisture during the baling operation.
Control and Baling Systems
The E-Link Pro control system uses a 7-inch color touchscreen for machine operation and bale monitoring. ISOBUS capability is included. The supplied configuration specifies twine and netwrap systems, giving the 605N multiple bale-wrapping options for different crop and storage needs. A hydraulic bale ramp is also specified for this variant to assist with bale discharge and handling.
