Abstract
A baler implement may include a frame, a first panel, a plunger, and a hook mechanism. The frame has a central longitudinal axis. The first panel partially forms a compression chamber for compressing crop therein. The plunger is operable to reciprocate within the compression chamber to provide a compressive force to compress crop material in the compression chamber into a flake against a plurality of other flakes of a currently forming bale and is operable to move the currently forming bale through the compression chamber. The hook mechanism is positioned on the first panel and is operable to engage the currently forming bale inside the compression chamber to resist the compressive force applied by the plunger to increase compression of the crop material within the compression chamber.
