Its 61-inch bale width provides a consistent finished bale profile, while the eight-belt forming system supports bale development through the chamber. The baler is rated for a maximum bale weight of 1,700 lb, depending on crop and operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickup assembly uses five tooth bars with 50 double rubber-mounted teeth. A spring-assist flotation system supports pickup movement, while the 57-inch tooth-to-tooth pickup width and 72-inch outside-flair width provide the specified pickup dimensions. The Bale Expert™ control system uses a monochrome LCD display, and the baler includes standard moisture monitoring up to 27% for operational awareness during baling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwine and Bale-Ramp Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue product name identifies this unit as a twine and bale-ramp configuration. Vermeer’s supplied product data lists the twine system as an optional feature and the bale ramp as an optional spring-loaded ramp. Because the manufacturer information does not independently verify the exact option inclusion for product code 6650RA1045, confirm the final equipment configuration before ordering. When fitted, the bale-ramp configuration corresponds with the manufacturer’s 171-inch length specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariable-chamber round hay baler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVermeer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRancher 6650\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBale diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36–66 in (91.4–167.6 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBale width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61 in (154.9 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum bale weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 lb (771.1 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength, standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 in (406.4 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength with bale ramp\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e171 in (434.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e109 in (276.9 cm) with standard tires\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111 in (281.9 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight, fully optioned\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,850 lb (2,653.5 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDriveline\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e540 rpm, extended lube, friction clutch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePickup width, tooth to tooth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57 in (144.8 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePickup width, outside flair\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 in (182.9 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePickup tooth bars\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePickup teeth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 double rubber-mounted teeth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBale-forming belts\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 belts; standard mini rough-top; 6.8 in (17.3 cm) belt width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControl system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBale Expert™ with monochrome LCD display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMoisture monitoring\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard up to 27%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTractor Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vermeer Rancher 6650 is designed for tractors with a \u003cstrong\u003e540-rpm PTO\u003c\/strong\u003e.
