Does anyone know how many bales a 348 should bale before plunger bearings and rails should be changed?

Baling on Hils Approach
For the past 20 years, I have baled with a Gehl 1465 that made a 4x5 bale. I upgraded this year to a New Holland 4x6 baler and all is good on the flat ground. The Gehl made a nice bale, but it is soft, whereas the NH makes a bale that is tight and firm.
Now for the hillside fun!
My son did the baling on the first hillside, and when he opens the gate, the bale hits the kicker and takes off down the hill. I had to stop the bale with the loader tractor, or we would have flatten fences and anything else that got in the way. It was like catching a bowling ball on a ski run.
Some ideas I have are as follows:
1. Try to turn sideways to the hill before opening the gate, but even that has not always worked on the first hilly field he tried. They stilled rolled too far.
2. Stop after the wrapping is done, and drive down to the bottom of the hill. Less fence damage this way, but more time.
3. Take bale kicker off. Have to go back to backing up on every bale.
4. Out of ideas.
What do the members on the forum do? Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

NH 575 timing out, way out.
OK a very long time since I've had any baler problems, especially since I got this 575 and got rid of my 336.
I got real good at timing the 336 thanks to some great videos etc., but this is a different animal.
Short version, I broke a flywheel shear pin because I overloaded the baler. It broke just after the knotter tripped. The needle protection stop came out and blocked the crank, so I reset that, replaced the shear pin, and I finished the tie of that last bale.
So now the timing marks are off at the knotter clutch by about 1 1/2 inches. It worked fine but I want to get it back right.
Following the directions in the operators manuaI I loosen the front chain and try to jump it to correct the timing and I found it very hard to turn that shaft because I couldn't get the chain completely free. So I tried to use the flywheel for leverage and overcorrect the timing and then back up the flywheel. Anyway I must have jumped the chain in the wrong direction and now the feeder forks are way out and hitting the plunger and the knotter is still out. What a mess. I can't time the feeder until I time the knotter but now the feeder hits the plunger! Catch 22.
How do I go back to square one and reset the whole deal. Seems like on the 336 I was able to remove a gear and jump the whole system but this machine is more complicated. I'd like to give it one more try before the dealer.
Thanks in advance.

Crazy idea to get a SP Rd bale retriever this rainy day.Whats out there?About all I could find was a Stinger.$$$.I'm spread out 38 miles so would like some road speed.I do stack in the fields so won't be hauling on the road.
