2026 Vermeer® Round Hay Balers 604R Classic

Out of all our engineering accomplishments, Vermeer is still known best in the agriculture industry for its innovative hay balers. Though the design has evolved over the years to take advantage of new technologies, Vermeer round balers are rugged and reliable and are still a top choice for farmers across the nation.

We all want consistent, square-shouldered bales — but with operation and field condition differences, we don't all put up hay the same way. Whether you're baling high-moisture hay (also known as baleage or silage), dry hay, cornstalks or a combination, Vermeer has a hay baler for all types of operations in various sizes to maximize your productivity and help produce the best quality hay.

Features may include:

Convenient Operation and Maintenance

Low horsepower requirements enable operators to connect the baler to more tractors.

The hydraulic density system lets operators customize bale density via the Atlas™ control system, considering crop type, moisture levels and weight preferences.

User-Friendly Controls

The Atlas™ control system and netwrap system provide operators with user-friendly controls to achieve the consistent, square-shouldered bales that we all know and love.

Peace of Mind

The Vermeer 604R Classic baler is designed for customers seeking affordability without compromising on quality for 6-ft x 4-ft (1.8-m by 1.2-m) bales.

Operators can rest assured with a 3-year pickup coverage on internal components including parts* and labor. *Does not include teeth or hardware for teeth.
