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 - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
