- Round Baling Hay near New Salem North Dakota | Vermeer ZR5 1200 SP Baler
In this video I am out in a field north of New Salem North Dakota as this farm round bales hay. In the video the farm is running their Vermeer ZR5 1200 Self Propelled Round Baler and their John Deere 6170 R Tractor pulling a Vermeer 605N round baler. The video has a good mix of drone and on the ground shots and even some bonus footage of two young Red Fox playing around at an old farmstead near the field.
The problem with regular balers is there's only so much power you can shove through the PTO because of the torque and shear standards. The HD large square balers use the inertia of a flywheel to get more umph into the plunger but the tractor still has to replace that by spinning the flywheel back up. Krone has a design that uses both hydro flow AND PTO to power up a baler with a hydraulic low end booster on the system to get the wheel spinning and keep it from stalling. The old Hesston/Massey units down in the south-west that have on-baler engines are true beasts because of this. Self-powered Freeman 3-string not-so-small balers really hammer out bales too.
As a non agricultural schooled person; is there a lot of power loss in a PTO? or is there a maximum limit what it can crank out powerwise? Is either of those because there are 2 seperate units in a towed baler versus a selfpropelled unit? Isn't the engine in the selfpropelled ZR5 doing the same thing; powering the vehicle and the baling system just in 1 unit?
@@boristhebarbarian there’s no inertia issue on a round baler so it’s easy enough driven that issue mentioned above is large square balers due to the working principle.
@@MarkLynskey So round balers have a more steady workflow in their workings due to continuous compacting instead of squarebalers push-release (like an automotive engine)methode? Have the squarebalers only been more market dominant because of moving and stacking the bales then?
Georgian here… I love North Dakota! Thanks for posting. ❤❤❤❤ I am amazed by how fast the tractor goes and then stops on a dime when the baler is full ! AWESOME!!

Theres another ZR5 in south central north dakota, sometimes see it going during the summer about 4 miles east of my farm.
Vermeer has gotten extremely popular in the last 5 years in the region... normally see usual guys running JD or NH balers all their life, and all of a sudden they have a Vermeer now.
amazing machines and excellent camera work. Thanks Mike!!!
As in every walk of life Mike someone always knows best. Keep up the great work.
That’s an impressive machine. It’s really moving out there! Great video as always!
Great to see the self propelled baler at work😉👍 great video👍👍
Great job!! Appreciate your efforts quality shows
Never made a round bale. I really miss making hay. Excellent videos man thank you.
Love these machines. Been waiting for more videos since their release and as always FHM delivers!
Seeing is believing! Great presentation!
I like the mischievious foxes at the end. Hopefully you will continue to ad fun bonusmaterial like that in the future. It makes for a pleasant interlude from a very informative video.
Wow, the self-propelled Baylor sure goes fast 😳. Happy subscriber 😊!
Great video, Mike. Both balers working together in the same field.
I like the idea that the power unit part and the baler part can be separated on the SP baler for maintenance.
Awesome video thanks Mike as always
... and here I thought Redd Foxx was dead. Cool video of the balers and the foxes Mike. My dad always loved Vermeer balers.
It's great to see the innovative self propelled design from Vermeer working out in real life applications!
🇧🇴 Fans n1 bolivia 💯 👀 saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 excelente me encanta ver este tipo de videos 📹 📹 👀 excelente trabajo con el video 📹 amigo 💯 👀👍👍💜💚👍😊😅
Smart machine at its work
Great to see
I wish i would work on farmlands like this!!!
Wow that’s awesome that the S.P. can go twice as fast! I can see why they are selling then for sure! I am not a arm chair City Boy, born and raised on the farm and worked on round and square balers all my life at a dealer that carried Hesston and New Holland iron. But we don’t have a Vermeer dealership around here so very interesting video Mike! Thanks!
Haven’t seen a self propelled Baler even at our farm show yet. Great video
Great video! I have only seen the self propelled baler in Farming Simulator. Great to see one actually working and to hear why some farmers prefer it over a trailed version. If you have a lot of land to cover it makes sense to me! 👍 Thanks for sharing! 😎
Farming simulator 22 player here. That's where I learned about it. Just as fast in game as it is here. Very cool stuff
My son just purchased a 605N. It was impressive. I was baling wheat and was curious about how fast the baler would bale. I'm baling with a JD 8300. I was up to 12.7 mph and according to the monitor, I was dropping a bale every 55 to 56 seconds. This baler was impressive. I started out with a 605C. I owned a 605G, 605J, 605SuperJ , 605L.
Many many years ago I saw some "top 10 farming machines" video that featured a self propeled round balers. Haven't seen one since. Fun to come across one again.
Dang farming has come so far past twenty years. Loving it
The Vermeer 605n is pretty awesome too
That is one cool baler!!!
The driver of the John Deere must have been very frustrated:
"Damn! He's been overtaking me for 125 times, now!" 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Mike is that ZR5 is very cool round baler I like it that is very fast work of the hay
This is so awesome! Slow down buddy! 😮
That's a very awesome baler
that self-propelled unit is really amazing you would need a sizeable farm to justify ir or be a custom operator fun to watch
Great. Well done.
This is one Awsome looking machine. I could see how it can bale fast then the pull type
That's the perfect bailer. Get twice as many bails in less time that's a winner.
Great idea
Amazing ❤
Good video.
Be interesting to see if they ever go to 4 wider belts on the chamber the way Deere and agco have gone. They seem to be a big improvement. Also would be interesting to test against a pull type round baler with a true CVT/ hydrostatic type tranny in a 200 plus horse tractor like a JCB with an operator who knows how to run it. Also interesting if Vermeer ever intends to offer a 4 ft wide bale chamber for the self propelled.
Saw my first one a couple days ago around Strathmore, AB Had to slow down and watch it for a couple minutes.
Thanks Mike for another great video. Dont listen or mention the idiots posts just...keep making your videos and 99% will enjoy them!
Loved the foxes. Haters will hate. Keep up the great videos.
The self propelled bailer is the way to go. I'm sure other Ag companies will follow suit. Very cool Mike 👍🏻 😊.
Great Video. Would like to see these in person.
Vermeer makes a good hay roller,and I can see the self propelled is hauling tail,like to have one in 4 wheel drive
This is the first time I have seen a self propelled baler. I can not under stand why no one has made them before now. we done see them here in Northern British Columbia
I was hoping you would run into one of these SP balers some time.
nice machine.
When I first saw that bailer hauling butt down the field I was amazed. Time is money. Speed it up by increasing ground speed, eliminate manual function by using automation and you have a winner.
The self propelled baler certainly makes the trailed machine look slow.
Mike thanks
Is it a pain to put net wrap in, or did they move it to the door?
Did you now that deutz made a self propelt sqare baler in the 90s its called power press
That baler was sure fast.
Seeing the foxes and this video featuring making hay reminds me of "Fox" brand silage equipment back in the 1950s. What ever happened to the Fox company ? Merger I suppose.
Looks impressive!!!! How does it ride going down the fields that fast, it looks kinda bounce with all that weight hanging over there rear axle??
Our neighbors bought one. I got to ride in the training seat for a few rounds. This hay field was not leveled in any way but the ride was really good in my opinion. The front suspension has very good travel and I have no complaints about the ride.
Oh, it had an automatic grease system too which I think is a great idea.
Would there be much difference in bale weight between the pull type baler and the self propelled?
I don't know about others but I'd love a go though it would be tight around some of our lanes.
On the pull type baler an overhead view shows the 2 belts on the left have 2 belt end connectors instead of just one like the others. Is that a belt repair connection? Just curious. Amazing how much faster the self-propelled unit is. Great video.
I would guess if it has two splices that belt was repaired at some point.
Have you seen the Vermeer baler that constantly bales. Ejects bale without stopping
I’m thinking it might be possible to replace the baler if worn out while keeping the power unit?
Now that’s really neat
I wonder if putting tandem axles on the self-propelled baler would make it a smoother riding and lower ground pressure. The tires would need to be smaller.
I remember when the round baler came out it must have been 70 or 71 our neighbor got a dealership before that he was running a Heston stackhand and everyone else was running f10 farmands
The stop is "only" 15 seconds, but I'm still amazed they didn't put a prechamber into the self-propelled baler.
Bet all the western hay growers want a ZR5 1200 bailer, what power runs it?
Great video Mike just ignore the loons who do stupid comments
Did you see Salem Sue while you were out there? 🙂
I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
I got to ride in the one by Wahpeton . Sure can cover the ground.
The self-propelled unit is a very impressive machine but I have questions. How is it able to operate so much faster than a pull type? You mentioned that it can bail at up to 12mph. How fast can you go when using the pull type? Also how did they make the wrapping/unloading process so much faster? I think the big square bales are more efficient. No need to stop to unload and no wasted space on the truck when hauling them. Are there disadvantages of square bales I do not know about?
the round bale is the more efficient bale. from a farmers perspective.
They hold more volume than a similar sized square bale. so you need to create and move fewer per field.
and they are easier to create from a mechanical perspective. so round balers are smaller, cheaper and cheaper to operate, than the big square balers.
people tend to make square bales for customers and contracts.
but round bales to use themselves.
I usually setup course play to bale and follow me to pick up the bales.
What size paddock and how many bales?
The self-propelled takes about half. The time to dump a bale as the other one.
I think they are cool just wish they were 4 wheel drive with a rake on front.
At 1.5 to 1.75 wraps on my 68" its 9 seconds clutch to clutch, yeah the ZR5 was defo blasting down the field faster than the Deere
So did vermeer give up on the protocol type of the continuous round baler that they where working on in the past 3 years?
I think that this prototype was built in partnership with Lely but since the Lely forage line has been sold to Agco this project faded away
With Lely being bought by AGCO, I have no idea how it got handled... no word on anything in years. During that merger, some of the Massey balers were essentially a Vermeer with Lely, but not sure what it's like now.
😎😎
I wonder if it has chopping knives
Do you have to zig zag with a self propelled baler
Like you have to with a pull behind baler
It's the same . doesn't matter if pull type or SP
@@freebooter247 ok thanks for the update
Could you make the baler pull tupe if the tractor part went down
I suppose anything is possible but not sure there is a kit to do just that.
Looks realy rough ground that sp baler going to shack the crap out of that back kicker
I've always wondered why some farmers do round bales and some do square bales?
Round baler are quite a bit cheaper and I’d say a lot less maintenance Round bales also weather a lot better when stored outside
There’s only one problem I see that is I don’t make enough hay to afford one!😂
Thanks again for the great videos Mike! These keyboard cowboys are ruining UA-cam with stupid comments it's a problem on every channel I'm subscribed to if you can't say something nice don't say anything
Not like there's any hills for the bails to roll down their.
I don't know why people want to be so negative now and throw their opinion when more than likely they don't even know what their talking about.
I don't no why thay don't take it a step further and include continue to bale technology as well as plastic rap as a option. Big farmers need big equipment.😓😓😓😓😓
Give me Visa I help you I like this this work I from Pakistan
Maybe avoid posting pics on Facebook to avoid the haters. Haters are everywhere. That's why I don't do social media anymore.
And as far as color goes it’s only paint everything is metal color under it every manufacturer has a lemon and they all burn the same orange color farmers use what they like let them be it’s their life and farm stop judging you hater are so smart go farming then you can talk
To bad keyboard warriors have no clue about farm life you use what works for you not what works for others there’s no way. Kip Sieglers farm runs anything like Andy houragins farm and Clark farm and duffyag farms are even more in left field give it a rest haters
I know what your saying Mike , it's amazing how such ill informed people that do no research and don't work in the farming game claim to know so much more than the people doing it day in day out
😂😂😂😂
Warum man sich freiwillig Rundballen antut, werde ich nie verstehen. Quaderballen sind einfach in jeder Hinsicht besser.
Warum Deutsche immer unter englischsprachigen Videos Kommentare auf Deutsch posten müssen, werde ich nie verstehen. Englisch ist einfach in jeder Hinsicht besser.
Round bales store outside much better when covered in net wrap. Also round bales are easier to transport.
