An articulated compaction machine implements a system layout that reduces the number of elongate flexible components that are routed between machine segments which must articulate with respect to each other. The machine includes a front-to-back asymmetric housing system with a pair of chassis mounted enclosures, one of which is larger than the other. The larger enclosure may be mounted on a first chassis subframe and define a primary enclosure that houses all components of a hydraulic power unit. The smaller enclosure may be mounted on a second chassis subframe and define an auxiliary enclosure that houses various auxiliary machine components. The primary enclosure may extend more than half of the length of the machine and may include a cantilevered segment that extends beyond the first subframe. The primary enclosure's cantilevered segment may extend across a pivot joint that connects the first and second chassis subframes and across a portion of the chassis' second subframe.
