SUPER M BALERS
600 SERIES
Cut-out clutch protection
totally eliminates hot or burned
out discs in accidental overfill
and overload situations (a fairly
common problem with friction
slip clutch protection, especially
if the baler is overpowered or
overfilled.)
W
hen you operate a Vermeer Super M-Series Baler, everything
changes. The quality of the package. The density of the bale.
The simplicity of the operation. The pickup and bale wrapping
process. Everything from the new baler pickup assembly to the quality,
density and appearance of the bale when it rolls off the ramp.
Constant
velocity PTO eliminates
chatter when baling;
auto-lock allows you to
free up both hands to
ensure easier hookups.
The Difference Is …
How The Bale Forms!
First thing you notice:
a remarkable difference in
functionality, speed and reliability!
S U P E R M - S E R I E S B A L E R F E AT U R E S
T
he key to great-looking bales is the starting
principle. A unique bottom drum design combined
with the Vermeer dual-stage belt tightening system
on Super M Balers is simply the best way to build a bale
… right froM the StArt. it takes excessive stress off
the belts. it eliminates the need for expensive diamond
belt designs or extra bale forming rollers. it allows you
to pull more hay into the chamber at a higher rate. And,
it supports the bale from the core to the outside wrap.
Biggest advantage:
The dual-stage belt
tightening system!
rubber crowned drive rollers help maintain belt tension.
hardened belt guides keep everything in line. And the
belts are tight and ready, right from the start of the bale.
this automated, patented design simplifies the bale-starting
process to give you faster starts and smooth, trouble-free
performance in a wide variety of crops and conditions.
note how the belt tightener arms work together to collapse the
bale chamber area (by as much as 50%). this creates a tighter,
“more receptive” bale-starting chamber. the lower arm then
pivots up to accommodate the growth of the round bale as it
begins to form and expand inside the chamber.
BottoM line: Quick, sure starts and uniform
distribution of the core across the entire chamber.
W
hy pay hundreds of dollars more to replace expensive
diamond tread belts when you get the same strength
and durability with a smoother, less abrasive, longer lasting belt design. eight heavy-duty 7-inch wide 3-ply belts (six on the
604 Super M) create maximum belt-to-bale contact (92%).

Separated belt design and clean-out augers on Super M
Balers reduce potential hay buildup, which can be a common
problem for drive rollers and shafts.
Alligator® Rivet lacings give you one of the strongest
splices possible. they’re on all 600 Super M-Series Balers and
easy to replace.

and you're ready to roll again as soon as the bale chamber closes and latches.
W
hy pay extra for parts you don’t need? With Direct Crop Feed the
Vermeer Super M-Series Baler eliminates those extra costs and invests
in stronger, more reliable components … 5-bar pickups, instead of 4-bar;
bigger flotation tires, higher rated axles and spindles, larger bearings and shafts,
heavy gauge side panels and stripper bands; long-lasting belts and lacings. Besides,
why invest in a pickup drive system that forces the crop and valuable leaves to
travel further and endure the start-and-stop motion of separate feed drives?
Heaviest gauge
stripper bands in
the field today!
The only baler using dual
diverter augers to redirect
hay from the corners.

EXCLUSIVE! Direct Crop Feed (DCF)
Combination of
staggered belts
and dual diverter
augers reduce
buildup.
Direct Crop feed is simple, compact, direct and specifically designed and
built for the serious hay producer. it's much easier to operate and
maintain, more reliable, more user-friendly in all kinds of crops and
conditions.
no long distance deliveries here. With DCf, your crop is fed
directly to the bottom drum and starting chamber with an
exclusive integrated and reinforced 5-bar pickup.

Look At tHe diffeRenCe!!
No more stuffers! No more rotors!
And there's less handling of fragile

remember all the routing and wrapping problems you had with rubber feed rollers and feed belts?
And the hassles of getting a clean cut each time? With the improved Vermeer netWrap system, you can
forget it. it’s simple, fast and more reliable than any system you've ever operated.
Vermeer netWrap takes the guesswork and
hassles out of routing by feeding net directly
to the main belts. the combination of brake
tension and friction feed not only makes it
more user-friendly, but it also maximizes
the number of bales per roll and maintains
tension on the wrap for a clean cut and a
positive grip for wrapping the next bale.
(tension automatically adjusts to the size of
the net roll.)

BAle rAMPS
the hydraulically powered bale ramp system from
Vermeer consistently kicks out finished bales and
prevents them from rolling back until the baler takes
off. this positive "roll-push-hold" system features a
hydraulic/mechanical sequence valve to keep it from
getting out of sync and prematurely shutting the
gate. (in fact, the ramp must be in the raised position
before the tailgate can close). it works better – and
in more areas – than spring-assist systems used on
other balers. it's easier on the bales. And, with Drop
’n go Bale ejection, you're ready to roll, because you
don't have to disengage and re-engage the Pto …
one less thing for the operator to worry about.

feed system that improves the flow and
consistency of high-volume cornstalk material
before it enters the bale chamber.
the difference starts with a patented,
hydraulically-powered windguard, positioned
immediately above the pickup assembly. evenlyspaced, star-shaped plates – clamped to the hex
shaft – feed high-volume cornstalk material into
the bale chamber. if necessary, the powered
windguard also can go into reverse mode to help
unplug the pickup. And you can do it all from
the cab. the result? Better starts. Clean, uniform
