Designed for Flexible Bale Production

The 605N uses a variable bale chamber to provide an adjustable bale diameter from 36 to 72 inches. Its 61-inch bale width supports the production of full-size round bales while allowing operators to select a bale size suited to crop conditions, storage plans, and handling requirements. The open-throat vertical chamber and eight-belt design are configured for consistent crop movement and bale formation.

Pickup and Crop Handling

The pickup measures 77 inches from tooth to tooth and 90 inches across the outside flair. Hydraulic pickup lift assists with positioning the pickup during field operation and transport. Pickup torque protection is available through a radial-pin clutch or a friction clutch with slip-sensing, helping protect the pickup system when operating conditions create increased resistance. The supplied configuration includes a pickup clutch.

Moisture sensing provides information during baling to help operators monitor crop conditions. The adjustable hydraulic density system supports control over bale formation as conditions change across the field.

Tie, Discharge, and Traction Equipment

The supplied product configuration identifies both twine and netwrap capability, providing two bale-wrapping options for securing finished bales. A hydraulic bale ramp supports bale discharge after tying. Flotation equipment is provided through 21.5L-16.1 flotation tires, while the standard tire specification is 14L-16.1. Pickup gauge wheels are 7.10-16 HD semi-pneumatic with spring assist.

Tractor Requirements

The Vermeer 605N requires a tractor with at least 80 hp (60 kW) at the PTO. Vermeer lists 100 hp (75 kW) as the recommended PTO horsepower. This configuration uses a 540-rpm PTO arrangement. Confirm that the towing tractor, PTO system, and hydraulic equipment are suitable for the complete baler configuration before operation.
