common sense.

An interview with Buddy Himes, owner of Himes Service Co. in Waco, Texas, is presented. When asked about the cause of catastrophic baler failure, he cites the lack of preventive maintenance or no attention given to the equipment. On operator's putting too much stress on their baler's cylinder, he advises that they should be knowledgeable regarding the capability of the equipment to be able to know its limits. On mismatches between material and baler style, he names as an example, baling plastic in an equipment not designed for it.
