Abstract
A baffle float system for a baler is provided. The baffle float system includes a pair of first pivot arms configured to pivotally couple to a frame of the baler and to a cross-member. The first pivot arms pivot about a first pivot axis. The baffle float system includes a baffle coupled to the cross-member. The baffle float system includes a pair of second pivot arms having a first end coupled to the cross-member and a second end. The baffle float system includes a compressor rack coupled to the second end of each of the second pivot arms such that the compressor rack pivots relative to the second end along a second pivot axis. The second pivot axis is different than the first pivot axis. The baffle float system includes at least one biasing member coupled to the compressor rack so as to be offset from the second pivot axis.
