I have an M9540 and will begin baling next year. For a variety of reasons I have decided to use Vermeer baling equipment. My preferred baler would be the Vermeer 604M due to its flexibility in making 4 to 6 foot bales. The 604M specifications are a minimum of 70 PTO HP with a recommended 90 PTO HP. The Kubota makes 84HP and weighs 9000 pounds with loader. The Vermeer weighs 7000 pounds and probably 8500 with a bale. The area I will be baling is flat bottom land. One Vermeer dealer recommends the 604 while a second dealer recommends dropping down to the 504M. Is anyone using a 604M with a 9540? Suggestions?
