2026 Vermeer® Round Hay Balers 604R Premium

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.

Smart Features Help Make Baling Simple

Enjoy smarter, more efficient hay production with the Auto-eject system that ties bales and operates the tailgate automatically, along with a net lift system that raises the netwrap roll for the operator.

Let the 604R Premium do the heavy-lifting for you. The net lift system raises the netwrap roll into the tailgate from the ground or from the back of a truck.

Good-Looking Bales Come Standard

The netwrap system on all 604 R-series balers lets operators control net tension for optimal coverage.

More Baling, Less Maintenance

The camless pickup maximizes productivity while reducing maintenance with 30 fewer wear parts compared to a cammed pickup.

Tired of replacing pickup teeth? No problem. Rubber-mounted pickup teeth are more durable and last longer than standard pickup teeth.

Peace of Mind
