My roller is a MF, that is a rebadged Gehl, which is basically an OMC. First off it is no where near as sensitive to side to side variation. Second, if you do a bad job it hides it by making the core a little softer on the more empty side. If you don't look at that side you wouldn't know you screwed up.
There isn't really anything to look at while baling but if you squint you can see a bit of what is happening. As long as you don't plug the pickup in the first 10 ft or so it never fails to start a bale. The first 3/4 of the bale you can drive as fast as you'd like really. I was hitting 12-15 mph in some 2.5 ton per acre timothy this summer behind a 14 ft rake. The last 1/4 I progressively slow down to really pack the bale. If you don't slow down you get soft bales than don't hold their shape and are a pain to handle later.
