The masterminds behind Vermeer innovations

Our dedicated team continues to move the hay and forage industry forward.

At Vermeer, we like to do things a bit differently. That’s why we have two different approaches to product design. On one hand, we work to make things better, to continuously improve our machines. On the other hand, we strive to make new things, to introduce product innovations to the hay and forage industry.

So, in addition to the hardworking engineering team that focuses on bringing new features to the current lineup of hay tools, Vermeer also has a separate “Forage Innovations” engineering team. This team works every day to create new solutions and tools that don’t exist today. Their mission: To bring MORE efficiency and productivity to the hay and feed-making process.

ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler

Putting up hay with the ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler delivers a productivity advantage over a traditional tractor-baler combination. Baling at up to a 2-to-1 ratio means more bales in less time. That means more time for important farm work. More time for valuable relationships with your family, friends and community. And more time for new business. The ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler is currently in production.
