Performance and Bale Formation

The 605S uses a variable-chamber bale-forming system to provide a broad range of bale diameters, from 36 inches through 72 inches. Its 61-inch bale width and premium mini rough-top belts support consistent crop handling as the bale develops. The camless pickup is designed with rubber-mounted teeth, while the wide pickup measures 77 inches tooth to tooth and 91 inches across the outside flare.

Standard netwrap helps secure finished bales, while the optional twine system provides an alternative tying method. The hydraulic bale ramp assists with unloading, and in-cab density adjustment allows the operator to adjust bale formation from the tractor. Moisture monitoring is standard through the Atlas Pro control system and is specified for readings up to 29%.

Controls and Available Options

The Atlas Pro control system combines a 7-inch colour touchscreen with the baler’s operating functions, including moisture monitoring and density adjustment. Depending on configuration, the 605S may also be equipped with an optional bale scale, net lift system, or Auto Lube greasing system.
