OK, let's do a little lesson in physics. Kinetic energy equals 1/2*m*v^2. Velocity is squared therefore small changes in velocity results in large changes in energy. Flywheels are energy storying entities and are used on a baler to reduce the shock load on the drive train during compression of a slice.
So, knowing that it will take x amount of energy to compress a slice of hay, this energy will need to come from somewhere. If the amount of energy needed to compress the slice is dramatically more than what is stored in the flywheel, a greater percentage of the impact load is passed to the tractor. Reducing the speed of the baler will reduce the available energy by a squared factor.
So, take your pick, run your baler at 540 and let the flywheel do what it is supposed to, or let your tractor take the abuse. Unless the manual says otherwise, run it at 540.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
