Economy-Priced Round Baler "Takes A Step Back In Time" BALERS Balers 23-6-11 In an unusual move, Vermeer Mfg. has taken a "step back in time" by introducing a "basic design" round baler without all the bells and whistles. It sells for 20 to 25 percent less than comparable sized balers do.
The "Rebel" makes 4 by 5-ft. bales that weigh up to 1,200 lbs. It takes only a 40-hp tractor to pull it. The new baler has fewer moving parts and requires much less adjustment and maintenance. Gone are some of the expensive electronics and automatic hale forming features now standard on most round balers (including Vermeer's other models).
This baler does have double twine tie, a mechanical full bale indicator, mechanical twine wrap indicator, 4-bar floating pickup, and a constant velocity pto with radial pin slip clutch. It also features a 4-ball twine box, a scraper knife on the lower drive roller, twisted 6-in. belts, SMV sign, and new taillights.
