On the Euro Style BV Kubota, like I said, you cannot see the bale being formed at all, it's entirely enclosed within the machine so you have to rely on the electronics to tell you exactly what is transpiring inside far as the symmetry of the bale and density of it. No choice. So far so good. Time and use will tell. Hopefully, the integrated circuits aren't run of the mill Chinese stuff that can fail without advanced notice, kind of like what goes in automobiles and light trucks today. I am quite satisfied with the 'steering wheel' on the monitor screen, much better and easier to deal with than the New Holland fill arrows. I get nice symmetrical bales, wrapped in net or twine (my choice) every time. One other interesting aspect is, I can wrap with twine initially and then over wrap with net if I want to. That works with wheat straw bales really well as dry wheat straw tends to peel off a formed bale in the field quickly while the bale is rotating in the bale chamber so a quick twine wrap followed by net keeps the majority of the wheat straw in the bale and not on the ground. Have not used it yet but probably will next year.
