Built for Productive Hay Baling
The 605S platform combines a wide pickup with a variable-chamber bale-forming design, allowing operators to select bale diameters between 36 and 72 inches. Its 61-inch bale width and maximum bale weight of 2,400 lb provide capacity for substantial hay packages, while the wide pickup is designed to gather crop efficiently. The pickup includes spring-assisted flotation and semi-pneumatic gauge wheels to help maintain pickup performance across changing field conditions.
The baler’s standard netwrap system helps secure completed bales, while the hydraulic bale ramp supports controlled bale discharge. The supplied product configuration specifies a 1,000-rpm PTO setup. Vermeer’s 605S platform literature also lists a 540-rpm driveline configuration, but the applicable PTO speed should be matched to the tractor and selected baler configuration before operation.
