The all-new 504 PRO Baler from Vermeer is built
to handle the demands of heavy, wet material for frequent silage baling. The 5′
x 4′ variable chamber baler has the heavy drive components necessary for
effective silage baling, and also offers the features and flexibility to
produce high quality bales in a variety of materials. With the standard, color
touchscreen E-Link Pro monitor, baling operations can be easily controlled from
“Features such as Hydroflexcontrol and
the Xtracut17 chopper system have proven to be very effective in baling silage,
and we’re excited to offer those features in this all-new 5′ x 4′ baler,” says
Phil Chrisman, Vermeer Product Manger. “The 504 PRO Baler has many of the same
components found in our 404 PRO Silage Baler, but in a variable chamber with a
standard wide pick-up that gives producers more flexibility to bale wet or dry
hay.
With Hydroflexcontrol, the floor of
the 504 PRO Baler can flex up and down to minimize blockage in the pick-up.
This feature also gives the operator the ability to hydraulically open the
floor of the baler should a blockage occur so they can easily clear the plug
without leaving the cab. The Xtracut17 is a 17-knife chopper system on the
pick-up rotor, with the option of utilizing knives in quantities of 0, 8, 9 or
17. This feature contributes to better bale density, fermentation, silage
quality and digestibility, and also provides a consistent, pre-cut material for
additions to rations fed using a mixer wagon.
In addition, the all-new, color
touchscreen E-Link Pro monitor comes standard with the 504 PRO Baler. “The
E-Link Pro monitor gives customers some user-friendly capabilities and
functions we haven’t offered before,” says Chrisman. “Operators will appreciate
the ability to electronically control bale density from the cab, or the ramp
‘home’ sensor that alerts the operator when the bale is fully ejected for a
faster tailgate cycle. They can also collect and store comprehensive field and
operation statistics, among the many other features this monitor has to offer.”
Other features of the 504 PRO Baler
include the patented Powersplit Transmission with a split gearbox design for
better use of horsepower when baling in heavy material, endless belts to
eliminate the need for lace maintenance, and heavy-duty chains, bearings and
other drive components add durability when handling heavy, dense silage bales.
