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.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
