Flexible Bale Production

The Rancher 6650 provides variable bale sizing from 36 to 66 inches in diameter while maintaining a 61-inch bale width. This flexibility allows the operator to produce smaller bales when handling or feeding requirements call for them, or larger bales when maximizing material per bale is preferred. Maximum bale weight is rated at 1,700 lb (771.1 kg).

Pickup and Control System

The pickup measures 57 inches tooth to tooth and 72 inches across the outside flair. Its 50 double rubber-mounted teeth are supported by spring-assist pickup flotation to help maintain pickup performance in the field. The standard Bale Expert™ control system uses a monochrome LCD display, while the physical bale-density gauge and manual density adjustment provide direct control over bale formation.
