The start on demand is usually a DC thing. Plow motors, tailgates and that type of thing. For industrial power equipment the pump will be running all the time. The pump will not deadhead due to open center valves. Think about a log splitter or a tractor and loader. Pump is always running as long...
Is that a capacitor start motor? If so the inrush will be a little lighter. I am guessing the baler is hydraulic so all the motor is running is a hydraulic pump. With all the controls in neutral at startup I would not think there would be a huge current draw to start.
