If you have determined that you have the Autowrap then that simplifies matters. The system works as follows. When the bale reaches a preset size, which is adjustable, a mechanism trips a clutch that starts the worm gear box for the twine tie. The twine arms drop down to the center of the bale for several wraps, moves outward, pauses for several wraps then move to the fully retracted position which triggers the knives to cut the twine. All this happens without the operator doing ANYTHING. The buzzer on this system buzzes when the tie arms start and again when the arms finish the tie cycle. The first buzz tells you to stop the tractor and the second buzz tells you the bale is tied and is ready to eject. IF you want to look back and watch the indicator arm for the tie cycle, then you do not need the buzzer. The buzzer is only telling you what the baler is doing. I bale with a cabbed tractor and cannot hear the mechanism start to tie, and I put up enough hay I do not want to have to watch every bale to see when it is tying, so I rely on my buzzer. To ME this is much easier, though your results may vary.
To eject the bale, you must wait until the bale is tied, open the tailgate with the tractor hydraulics and once the bale rolls clear on the ramp, close the tailgate with the hydraulics. There is an indicator to show that the gate has latched. This is explained in the manual.
FWIW
The Bale Command is a small computer inside a box, with an LCD display and a bunch of buttons. Sensors on the baler send inputs to this "brain" which sends signals back to operate the twine tie. I am not familiar with this system, but as I understand, you MUST have the monitor to make the twine function.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning Up Your Tractor: Cooling and Fuel Systems, Hoses and Belts - by Curtis Von Fange. Our tractor is coming right along. The old oil and filter has been taken to the recycler and the air filter replacement has breathed new life into our motor. Let's take a closer look, now, at the cooling system since it has to work so hard in the summer heat. Cooling systems can be real cantankerous in their old age. Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
