Abstract
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.
