A baffle float system (100) for a baler (10, 60) is disclosed. The baffle float system (100) comprises a pair of first pivot arms (114, 116) configured to pivotally couple to a frame (16) of the baler (10, 60) and to a cross-member (110), the first pivot arms (114, 116) pivot about a first pivot axis (P1); a baffle (106) coupled to the cross-member (110); a pair of second pivot arms (150, 152) having a first end (160) coupled to the cross-member (110) and a second end (172); a compressor rack (108) coupled to the second end (172) of each of the second pivot arms (150, 152) such that the compressor rack (108) pivots relative to the second end (172) along a second pivot axis (P2), the second pivot axis (P2) different than the first pivot axis (P1); and at least one biasing member coupled to the compressor rack (108) so as to be offset from the second pivot axis (P2), wherein an input force of the at least one biasing member results in a resultant force that acts on the compressor rack (108) and on the baffle (1
