I will assume 430 is same as 530 just smaller. When you start the bale throttle your tractor to 1000-1200 rpm. Once you have a 16 inch bale in it then throttle up and away you go. Be sure you are not hanging any hay out the side of the pickup at the start, it will plug every time. I try to stay center of swath to start.
I am not sure of what type of hay you are trying to bale but if slippery grass you may have to go early morning or late evening when it has a little moisture on it.
as for speed, once the bale has started you can go 6-8 MPH. Just remember that if you get to far over the swath that it hangs up on the edge of the pickup it will plug again.
Double check if it plugs again that the belt that turns the pickup is not slipping( might be just a clutch and chain no belt, been a few years.) That belt has to be tight.
I have made 10s of thousands of bales with 530 and 535.
Low RPM and not hanging over the edge of pickup and you can bale anything. I have been told that when the belts are to wore down you can have way more problems. should have 2 steps minimum on the diamonds of the belts.
One trick others have told me with wore out belts is to have a spray bottle with coke in it and give the belts a spray as soon as you kick out a bale just before starting again. I have never done it but some say it makes the belts sticky and every few bales is all it takes.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
