A baler implement includes an upper compression panel and a first side compression panel both partially form a compression chamber. A compression frame is attached to a main frame. The compression frame is disposed adjacent to the upper compression panel. A first upper pivot link contacts the upper compression panel and is rotatably coupled to the compression frame for rotation about a first upper link axis. A first side pivot link contacts the first side compression panel and is rotatably coupled to the main frame for rotation about a first side link axis. A first actuator interconnects the first upper pivot link and the first side pivot link. Retraction of the first actuator simultaneously moves the upper compression panel in a first vertical direction along a first compression axis and the first side compression panel in a first horizontal direction along a second compression axis.

Panel compression system for baler implement

A baler implement includes an upper compression panel and a first side compression panel. A compression frame is disposed around the upper compression panel and the first side compression panel. A panel support structure includes a top portion positioned proximate the upper compression panel, and a first side portion attached to the top portion and positioned proximate the left side compression panel. An actuator interconnects the compression frame and the panel support structure. The actuator is operable to extend to move the panel support structure and the upper compression panel in a first vertical direction along a first compression axis. A first wedging system includes a wedge for converting movement of the first side portion in the first vertical direction along the first compression axis into movement of the first side compression panel in a first horizontal direction along a second compression axis.
