New JD 459 Mega wide Baler bale density

Help!!!!

 

We just traded balers.  From a JD 459 standard (twine only) to a brand new $$ JD 459 MegaWide baler (net and twine).  We always bale 60" and I measured so we are good on bale size.  We weighed some last year on standard baler and they weighed 875 lbs.  We just baled the same field and with new baler they weigh 750 lbs. each at truck stop scales.  I was suspecting something when I picked them up with my flex grip and they were squeezing like a warm marsh mellow.  They appear soft compared to earlier baler.  Field may have been more dry but they still seem soft.  Also, on field that I always get 25 bales it yielded 35 bales and it wasn't that much better.

 

I called John Deere service and there is not a density setting on the 459 baler.  It is all factory set. The manual in troubleshooting says something about tension cylinder:  Leaking, not getting flow, plugged hydraulics etc.  They agreed to come out next time we bale and and check things.  They said we need to crowd the corners.  We don't have tucker wheels so not sure how far out on the corners to bale.

 

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.    Many thanks!!
