Description
The Vermeer 605N Round Baler is a variable-chamber hay baler configured for 5 ft x 6 ft nominal bales, with a 540-rpm PTO driveline, twine tie system, hydraulic bale ramp, and flotation tires. Built with durable, heavy-duty components, the 605N is designed for high-capacity baling applications and produces bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter. Its dual-stage bale chamber, hydraulic pickup lift, bale-shape indicators, and E-Link Pro control system help support consistent bale formation and efficient field operation.
High-Capacity Variable-Chamber Baling
The 605N provides a 61-inch bale width and an adjustable bale diameter range of 36–72 inches, allowing operators to produce bales suited to their handling, storage, and feeding requirements. The dual-stage bale chamber supports the formation of dense, uniform round bales, while the 77-inch pickup width between the teeth and 90-inch width across the outside flare help gather a broad swath efficiently.
This configuration uses a 540-rpm, standard-lube driveline with a friction-clutch arrangement. Bale tying is configured for twine, and the hydraulic bale ramp helps move completed bales away from the chamber after ejection. Optional flotation tires are included in this catalogue configuration to provide the listed 129-inch transport width.
Operator Control and Bale Management
The Vermeer 605N uses the E-Link Pro control system with a 7-inch color touchscreen. The display is ISOBUS-compatible and provides access to baler operation information and controls. Standard bale-shape indicators help the operator monitor bale formation, while standard bale moisture readings are available up to 27%.
The hydraulic pickup lift supports convenient pickup adjustment during field work. The bale chamber is designed for bales weighing up to 2,400 pounds, depending on crop and operating conditions. Fully optioned machine weight is listed at 8,600 pounds.
