Description
Vermeer 605S Signature Round Baler – verified as the Vermeer 605S Rancher is a variable-chamber round baler designed for dependable hay and forage production. The verified 605S Rancher configuration forms bales from 36 to 72 inches in diameter and 61 inches wide, with a 1,000-rpm driveline option, mechanical netwrap, an available bale ramp and flotation tires. Its 77-inch camless wide pickup, Atlas Pro control system and adjustable bale-density controls support efficient field operation, while the variable-chamber design gives operators flexibility across a range of bale sizes.
Built for Versatile Round Baling
The 605S Rancher is a rugged variable-chamber baler for producers who need to adjust bale diameter to suit crop conditions, handling preferences and storage requirements. It produces bales up to 72 inches in diameter with a maximum bale weight of 2,400 pounds. The 61-inch bale width provides a consistent full-width bale, while eight premium mini rough-top belts help form the bale inside the chamber.
A 77-inch, four-bar camless pickup is equipped with double rubber-mounted teeth, poly stripper bands and adjustable gauge wheels. This wide pickup is designed to collect windrows efficiently and help maintain consistent crop flow into the baler. The Atlas Pro control system provides in-cab bale data and density adjustments, allowing the operator to monitor and manage the baling process from the tractor cab.
