SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TOWING A MOBILE BAGGING MACHINE

摘要

Systems and methods for towing a bagging machine are disclosed. The system includes a coupler connected to a hopper that is configured to raise and lower relative to a chassis of the bagging machine. The chassis has at least six wheels in contact with the ground that remain in contact with the ground when the coupler is attached to a towing vehicle hitch. The hopper raises to attach the coupler to the hitch and lowers to engage the hitch for towing, while keeping the wheels on the ground.

主权项

1. A mobile bagging machine, comprising:
a chassis having a front end and a rear end; at least three axles mounted to the chassis; a bagging tunnel mounted at the rear end of the chassis; a hopper pivotably mounted to the chassis at a rear end of the hopper and configured to pivot about a horizontal axis, the hopper having a coupler at a front end of the hopper; a packing assembly disposed between the bagging tunnel and the hopper; and an actuator configured to cause the hopper to selectively pivot to change the height of the coupler relative to the chassis.
