I would try running without PressTestEngine, just with TranslationEngine instead (fixed number of steps).
You have bunch of state variables in PressTestEngine that are not saved -- that is wrong. You should save (i.e. serialize) all state that is needed to resume the simulation at any point (more or less, unless you know what you do). For instace, minimalForce will be non-zero after first 2 steps, but if you save and reload (in the same run or next time you start yade), it will be initialized to zero and your engine will behave differently.
