Short answer: A Vermeer 605M uses 64″ or 67″ net wrap. The standard XES SKU is E64X7000G (64″ x 7,000 ft, $239.99), with SKU E67X7000G as the wider/alternate option. Free US shipping on every order.
The Vermeer 605M is a 5-foot variable-chamber round baler — the modern successor to the 605L and the most popular 5-footer in Vermeer's lineup. Operators who run a 605M typically push 30-50 bales/day in season and burn through net wrap fast, so picking the right size and roll length directly affects your cost-per-bale.

Why 64″ or 67″ is the right size for the 605M
Like most modern Vermeer 5-series balers, the 605M is forgiving on net wrap width: it will run either 64-inch (162 cm) or 67-inch (170 cm) wrap. The 64-inch matches the chamber width exactly; the 67-inch overhangs slightly and gives extra edge protection on bales destined for outdoor storage. Most operators we talk to default to 64-inch unless they're storing bales uncovered through a wet winter.
Net wrap width is determined by the chamber width of the baler, not the bale diameter. A 5-ft chamber baler like the Vermeer 605M has a chamber that accepts 64″ or 67″ wrap. Going narrower will leave bare patches at the bale edges (water ingress, hay loss); going wider than the chamber's tolerance jams the wrap roller or causes wrinkling.
How many wraps per bale on a Vermeer 605M?
XES guidance based on crop and storage:
- Silage (high moisture, short-term): 2–2.5 wraps
- Hay (dry, standard outdoor storage): 2.5–3 wraps
- Straw (low cohesion): 3–4 wraps
- Outdoor storage past 12 months or harsh UV/freeze-thaw: add 1 extra wrap

Frequently asked questions
What size net wrap does a Vermeer 605M use?
A Vermeer 605M accepts either 64-inch (162 cm) or 67-inch (170 cm) net wrap. XES SKU E64X7000G ($239.99) is the standard chamber-width fit; SKU E67X7000G ($249.99) is the wider option.
Should I pick 64-inch or 67-inch for my 605M?
64-inch matches the chamber width exactly and is the most common choice. 67-inch overhangs the chamber edges by about 1.5 inches per side, giving better moisture protection for bales stored uncovered. Most 605M operators run 64-inch unless they store bales outdoors past 6 months.
Does XES net wrap work with Vermeer's automatic net wrap system on the 605M?
Yes. XES net wrap is dimensionally identical to OEM Vermeer wrap and feeds through the auto-wrap mechanism without modification.
Will the same wrap fit my older Vermeer 605L or 605K?
Yes for the 605L. The 605K used 64-inch only (no 67 option). XES SKU E64X7000G fits both.
How many bales does one roll of XES 64-inch wrap make on a 605M?
At a typical 3 wraps per bale on a 5-ft-diameter bale, 7,000 ft of wrap covers about 145–150 bales per roll — roughly 111 at a tighter 4 wraps, or up to 178 at 2.5 wraps for tight silage.
