The press is operable in a bale formation cycle, where the bale formation cycle includes bale formation cycle parameters. A primary power source is operably coupled with the press to transmit a power to the press, and an auxiliary power source is coupled to the press. The auxiliary power source is operable in a power transmitting mode to transmit an auxiliary power to the press. A controller is electrically coupled to the auxiliary power source such that the controller is configured for controlling operation of the auxiliary power source. The operation of the auxiliary power source is operably controlled manually or by the controller according to the bale formation cycle parameters.
