Description
Vermeer 605N Cornstalk Special Variable-Chamber Round Baler is designed for demanding baling conditions, including heavy corn residue and other tough crop applications. Its variable-chamber design produces bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter, while the 61-inch bale width supports substantial bale capacity. A wide cammed pickup, powered Windguard, 1,000-rpm extended-lube driveline, cutout clutch, standard moisture sensors, and E-Link Pro control display work together to support efficient baling and consistent machine operation. The Cornstalk Special configuration is compatible with tractors providing a minimum of 150 hp (112 kW) at the PTO.
Built for Cornstalk and Heavy-Crop Baling
The Vermeer 605N Cornstalk Special uses a variable chamber with eight belts, each measuring 6.8 inches wide, to form adjustable round bales. Bale diameter can be set from 36 to 72 inches, allowing operators to select a size suited to handling, storage, and crop conditions. The machine’s cammed wide pickup measures 77 inches tooth-to-tooth and 90 inches across the outside flair, helping gather a broad windrow. Hydraulic pickup lift supports convenient pickup adjustment from the tractor.
The powered Windguard is a standard Cornstalk Special feature intended for demanding crop conditions. Standard moisture sensors provide readings up to 27%, helping operators monitor crop moisture while baling. The standard netwrap system, hydraulic bale ramp, scale kit, and Auto Lube greasing system contribute to a well-equipped configuration for regular production work.
