Using the TA every 30 seconds shouldn’t be a problem if he is engaging it quickly and fully each way. He’s not pulling a lot of load with the drawbar so TA stress would be minimal, however if he is using the TA that often, he is definitely trying to push the tractor to the power limit. The baler you mentioned has a plunger that does the compacting of the hay into the bale chamber and packing the bale. This takes a lot of power, so there is a flywheel that in the driveline that “absorbs” energy from the tractor when the plunger is moving out of the chamber and “transfers” energy to the plunger during the compression and looses momentum. What you are hearing is the governor on the tractor opening up trying to bring the RPM of the flywheel on the baler back up to speed. Working an engine at rated RPM or varying RPM’s that peak out at rated at least for a moment or two don’t really hurt that engine other than the wear and tear on the governor and linkage. I'd be more concerned about the live PTO tube and hub in the back of the pressure plate. My dad used to square bale and had problems with this often.
