Not familuar with your baler but it sounds like it is simply the difference between running a power shaft on 1000 RPM vs the 540 RPM. Any time you have a PTO shaft that pulls agenst the tractor like a round baler or a corn chopper, you can pull it with less power and tork on the 1000 RPM side. How is this you ask, its kind of like riding a bike up a hill, the higher the gear on the bike the slower the pedals turn and the more power or tork it takes to move the bike the same speed. Shift the gears on the bike and the pedals spin faster, the bike speed stays the same, and it takes less power and tork. Same idea on a PTO shaft, on the 1000 side the shaft spins faster, the gearing is higher and the power required is less, but it turns the baler the same speed. That is how you can run the baler at 60hp on the 540 side and 40hp on the 1000 side. Most of the high HP PTO applications like corn choppers, silage blowers, large brush hogs, big grinder mill mixers, and now even big round balers offer the 1000 RPM shaft so that you dont need a 200 HP tractor to chop heavy corn. Hope this makes some sence for you.
