John Deere Round Balers for Sale in Virginia & North Carolina

The John Deere round baler lineup covers operations of all sizes, from a 4x5 entry-level baler suited to a smaller cattle farm to a 5x6 high-capacity unit built for large hay programs across Virginia and North Carolina. Each model shares the same durable bale chamber design, with differences in pickup capacity, bale size, and available technology. Below is a breakdown of available round baler models:

For operations baling silage or running high-volume hay programs that demand consistent bale density, the VM and CR Series add variable-chamber technology and integrated wrapping to the lineup. The V452M, V452R, and V462R require a minimum of 120 PTO horsepower and use a 7.2-foot high-capacity pickup built for silage baling. The C452R and C462R are combination wrap-and-bale units that handle baling and silage wrapping in a single pass, so one operator manages the full process from windrow to wrapped bale. Hereare the VM and CR Series balers John Deere offers:

All 1 Series and VM balers pair with the John Deere G5e monitor in the cab, so you can track bale count, log moisture readings, and store bale documentation in the Operations Center for load management and field records. Gate, Speed, and Weave Automation reduce the operator decisions during baling, which matters on long days across larger fields. Speak with our team to request pricing on a round baler that fits your bale size, acreage, and hay type.

John Deere Mower-Conditioners & Disc Mowers

John Deere Zero Series mower-conditioners cut and condition in a single pass, which means faster dry-down and fewer weather windows at risk. In Virginia and North Carolina where summer rain can move in fast, getting forage down and dry quickly is not a luxury. We carry side-pull and center-pivot pull-type models as well as front-mounted and high-output rear-mounted options for operations where every pass needs to cover maximum ground.

Below is a breakdown of available Zero Series pull-type mower-conditioner models:

For operations that need maximum daily output, we also carry the F310R and F350R front-mounted mower-conditioners with cutting widths of 10.2 and 11.5 feet and HP requirements of 100 and 120 HP. For the largest hay programs, the R870R, R950R, and R990R rear-mounted units cover 27.2 to 32 feet of cutting width per pass and require 210 to 250 HP. These are built for operations where every tractor pass needs to cover as much ground as possible.

Every Zero Series model includes Quick Change Knives that cut knife replacement time in half, a 5-year cutterbar warranty for long-term confidence in the machine, and Connected Support so our service team can run remote diagnostics when issues come up during the cutting window. Speak with our team to compare models and find the right mower-conditioner for your tractor setup and acreage.

John Deere Tedders, Rakes & Hay Tools

Completing the hay cycle takes more than a baler and a mower. John Deere and Frontier hay tools cover tedding, raking, bale wrapping, and bale handling so you can manage the full operation with equipment that works together and is backed by the same local parts and service team.

Frontier hay tedders spread cut forage to speed up dry-down and reduce moisture content before baling. Wheel rakes gather dry crop into windrows for efficient baler pickup, whether you're running a single-row setup or merging multiple swaths across wider hay ground. Both are available in configurations that work behind compact and mid-size utility tractors, making them a practical addition for cattle operations and smaller hay programs across Virginia and North Carolina.

For bale management after harvest, Frontier accessories include bale wrappers for silage bales, bale unrollers for feeding cattle through the winter, and bale spears that mount to your loader for moving bales around the farm. Ask your nearest James River Equipment location about current availability on hay tools and Frontier accessories.
