1. An agricultural baler, comprising:
a chassis;
a main bale chamber;
an axle arrangement coupled with the chassis, the axle arrangement comprising:
a first axle with a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled with the chassis by a first leaf spring mounted at a first location on the first axle and a generally vertically arranged first hydraulic cylinder mounted at a second location on the first axle, the second location being spaced from the first location, the second end being coupled with the chassis by a second leaf spring mounted at a third location on the first axle and a generally vertically arranged second hydraulic cylinder mounted at a fourth location on the first axle, the fourth location being spaced from the third location;
a second axle with a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled with the chassis by a first leaf spring mounted at a first location on the second axle and a generally vertically arranged first hydraulic cylinder mounted at a second location on the second axle, the the second location being spaced from the first location, the second end being coupled with the chassis by a second leaf spring mounted at a third location on the second axle and a generally vertically arranged second hydraulic cylinder mounted at a fourth location on the second axle, the fourth location being spaced from the third location; and
a hydraulic circuit fluidly interconnecting the first hydraulic cylinder on the first axle with the first hydraulic cylinder on the second axle, and fluidly interconnecting the second hydraulic cylinder on the first axle with the second hydraulic cylinder on the second axle.
