Excelling in baling both silage and dry hay, Vermeer Pro G4 balers bring strong performance to your field when it comes to creating better bales. With versatility across crop types and innovative features, the 504 Pro G4 and 604 Pro G4 balers are here to help you craft consistent, nutrient-dense silage bales to feed your herd.

Here are the ways the Vermeer Pro G4 balers help you produce dense, square-shouldered bales to support your hay and silage needs.

Bale for better silage fermentation

Outfitted with a two-bank, 17-knife chopper system, Vermeer Pro G4 balers help you chop crop to an ideal size for silage bale fermentation. The chopping system provides consistent particle length, increasing surface area and improving bale density. Together, better surface area and density lead to a fruitful fermentation process that bolsters nutrition.

“With a two-banked knife system, you can choose cut length by setting the baler to use either zero, eight, nine or 17 knives. For silage bales, the knife system can help you get a smaller cut which helps eliminate air in the bales. Elimination of air prevents aerobic fermentation so your bales will keep better. Overall, by adjusting the knife banks you can get a better baled entity,” said Ed Henning, Vermeer product training specialist.

The cutting system on Vermeer G4 balers gives you complete control of chopping from the cab utilizing the Atlas Pro™ control system so you can get your preferred crop density in your silage bales to create quality fermentation conditions.

Put up more tonnage per bale

The Pro G4 balers are built with a camless pickup that lacks cammed bearings, tracks and bushings. Camless wide pickup provides better finishing times and fewer wear parts than a cammed pickup. Most importantly, a wide pickup harvests wider windrows, leaving less crop in the field, helping you put up more bales in fewer passes.

Pro G4 balers are also equipped with a net wrap system that efficiently distributes net for tightly wrapped bales.

“Net tension has a big impact on maintaining density in your bale,” Henning said. “Using a high-quality net, like Vermeer® Net, lets you run a higher net tension, which means your bales will have better outside density and hold heavy, chopped crop with a better bale shape.”

Silage bales and other wet crops, by nature, have more tonnage per bale than their dry counterparts. Putting up bales with higher moisture has its benefits including increasing efficiency and yielding higher-quality feedstock. Ensuring a tight wrap on bales and an efficient pick up of windrows means that you can put up and maintain higher tonnage bales for your cattle operation and avoid poorly shaped bales that slouch.

Craft consistent chopped bales

The Vermeer 504 Pro and 604 Pro G4 balers are pros in the field, ready to put up consistently shaped hay and silage bales. These silage balers can switch between crop types nearly effortlessly, so you can put up wet and dry crops with just one baler.

Vermeer Pro G4 balers are equipped with the Atlas Pro control system which gives you in-cab insight and control of bale shape, size, density, net tension, moisture levels and more. This intuitive system helps you keep tabs on the baling process and adjust on-the-go to create uniform, high-quality bales.

“Between the wide pickup and the ability to control bale density from the cab, the G4 balers help you put up nice square-shouldered bales that wrap well. The Atlas Pro monitor makes it easy to calibrate bale size, shape and density from the cab so you can ensure what you are seeing on the monitor is also being produced by the baler,” Henning said.

With a Vermeer Pro G4 baler behind your tractor, you are prepared to put up consistent bales to feed your herd. Assembled in Pella, Iowa, these balers support putting up square-shouldered and dense bales. For more information on Vermeer Pro G4 balers or other hay tool needs, contact your local Vermeer dealer.
