Vermeer 605S Premium Round Baler – 5' x 6', 540 RPM, Temperature Sensors [605716101]

Vermeer 605S Premium Round Baler – 5' x 6', 540 RPM, Temperature Sensors [605716101] is a variable-chamber round baler built for dependable haymaking and demanding ranch work. From Vermeer, the 605S Rancher platform combines a 61-inch bale width with an adjustable 36–72-inch bale diameter range, allowing operators to produce substantial round bales for varied field and feeding requirements. Its camless wide pickup, premium mini rough-top belts, Atlas Pro control system, standard netwrap, and hydraulic bale ramp support efficient operation from windrow pickup through bale formation and unloading.

Reliable Bale Formation and Pickup

The Vermeer 605S uses a camless wide pickup with 60 double rubber-mounted teeth arranged across four tooth bars. The pickup measures 77 inches tooth to tooth and 91 inches across the outside flare, helping gather windrows effectively. Eight premium mini rough-top belts form the bale, with each belt measuring 6.8 inches wide. The variable-chamber design produces bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter, while the 61-inch bale width provides a consistent 5-foot-class bale format.

Operator Control and Bale Handling

An Atlas Pro control system with a 7-inch color touchscreen provides the operating interface for baler functions. Standard moisture monitoring is specified up to 29%, supporting informed baling decisions where moisture management is important. The standard netwrap system helps secure finished bales, and the hydraulic bale ramp assists with bale discharge. Twine, Auto Lube greasing, automatic chain lubrication, scale, net-lift, and ISOBUS capabilities are available as optional equipment where configured.
