Deere 348 - A Few More Questions

Going to look at a JD 348 square baler today and have a few questions on these....

Multilube system - is this reliable and works as advertised? Do the lube lines get in the way of servicing the knotters? I assume you can flip up the knotters, like my New Holland, but do the lube lines cause problems there?

Hydraulic bale forming - is this self contained to the baler or powered by a remote from the tractor?

I'm concerned with the ability of the 348 to handle lighter windrows, when encountered, either sporadically or just in light 2nd or 3rd cuttings. Sure we can rake windrows together, but even then they can be light. It doesn't take much to jam full the New Holland 68's pickup due to the low capacity of it. The 348 is day and night compared. How do you deal with lighter cuttings and make consistent brick bales with the 348?

I'm to understand the 348 has some kind of side doors to provide bale tension? Do you use them and when?

I realize the 348 is overkill for us, but they are the same basic, if not exact, footprint as a 328 or 338, so if I can make hay in our smaller quantities and occasional light windrows, confident that we'll get bricks out the back - IF the price is right, I might buy this baler.

Any sage advice/info is appreciated.

Thanks!
Bill
