Description
Vermeer 605S Premium Round Baler – 5' x 6', LG 1000 RPM, Temperature Sensors [605716101] is a Vermeer 605S Rancher variable-chamber round baler designed for dependable hay baling and convenient operation. Its adjustable bale chamber produces bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter and 61 inches wide, providing the flexibility to match bale size to crop conditions, handling preferences, and storage requirements. The baler combines premium mini rough-top belts, a camless wide pickup, Atlas Pro electronic control, standard netwrap, standard moisture sensing, and a hydraulic bale ramp for efficient field operation.
Built for Flexible Bale Production
The 605S Rancher forms round bales with a diameter range of 36–72 inches, corresponding to the catalogue’s 5-foot by 6-foot bale description. Its eight premium mini rough-top belts support bale formation, while each belt measures 6.8 inches wide. The camless wide pickup has a 77-inch tooth-to-tooth working width and rubber-mounted pickup teeth to help collect windrowed material across a broad path.
Operator Controls and Convenience
The Atlas Pro control system uses a 7-inch color touchscreen to support baler operation from the tractor cab. Standard netwrap helps streamline bale finishing, while the hydraulic bale ramp assists with bale discharge. Standard moisture sensing measures moisture up to 29%, providing useful crop-condition information during baling. Optional equipment includes a bale scale system, net lift system, Auto Lube greasing system, and automatic chain lubrication.
