Methods and systems for adjusting a trailer attached to a vehicle. The system includes a hitch of the vehicle located on a track along a rear end of the vehicle and configured to couple the vehicle to the trailer and move along the track. The system also includes one or more actuators coupled to the hitch and configured to move the hitch along the track. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to instruct the one or more actuators to move the hitch along the track.

Methods and apparatus are provided for moving a receiver associated with a hitch frame of a vehicle. The method includes receiving data indicating a hand wheel angle; determining, with a processor, a position for the receiver relative to the hitch frame based on the hand wheel angle; and outputting one or more control signals to a motor coupled to the receiver to move the receiver relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle based on the determination.

Swing hitches for a vehicle and supporting cargo. The swing hitches include a fixed arm, a swing arm, and a catch. The fixed arm is operatively coupled to the vehicle. The swing arm includes a pivot end and an arc end opposite the pivot end. The pivot end is pivotally coupled to the fixed arm. The swing arm is configured to pivot horizontally between a stowed position where the arc end is proximate the fixed arm and a deployed position where the arc end is distal the fixed arm. The catch is operatively coupled to the fixed arm and to the swing arm and configured to restrict the swing arm from moving vertically relative to the fixed arm when the swing arm is in the stowed position. In some examples, the swing hitch includes a release mechanism.

A towing apparatus for agricultural machines of the type of balers and round balers, which comprise at least one device for gathering previously-cut agricultural products, of the type of grass, wheat, maize, hay, forage, and the like, and a chamber for the accommodation and compression of the agricultural products, which are received from the gathering device, for the formation of a bale; the towing apparatus comprises at least one first member, which can be coupled to the agricultural machine and is associated with a second member; the second member is in turn associated with a third member, which can be coupled to a tractor for towing the agricultural machine; either or both of the first member and the second member is controlled by at least one respective actuator, for the movement of the agricultural machine at least partially independently of the advancement of the tractor.

Two-point hitch mount systems for connecting an implement to a tow vehicle having two hitch arms are disclosed. The hitch mount systems may include a shaft configured to be attached to the two hitch arms of the tow vehicle and a yoke assembly. The yoke assembly includes a first and second shaft slots for removably receiving the shaft.

A movable tow-bar assembly comprising: an elongate frame configured to be attached to a vehicle; a towing attachment comprising a sleeve that is shaped to receive a section of the elongate frame and allow translation of the towing attachment along a length of the frame; and a driving arrangement coupled with the towing attachment and the frame for effecting translational movement of the towing attachment along the length of the frame.

A universal hitch system includes a vehicle that has a frame and the frame has a front end. A hitch is removably coupled to the frame and the hitch is positioned on the front end. The hitch may have an implement removably coupled thereto. Thus, the vehicle may tow the implement. The hitch comprises a central member and a pair of end members. The central member has an adjustable width such that the central member accommodates a variety of frame widths. Each of the end members is removably coupled to the central member. Each of the end members is removably coupled to the frame.
