What happens here

With the hitch receiver and trailer ball securely installed, the operator carefully maneuvers the Bobcat skid steer by backing it up towards the red trailer. Precision is key to align the trailer ball directly beneath the trailer's coupler. Once aligned, the skid steer's hydraulic controls are used to either raise or lower the quick-attach plate, precisely fitting the trailer ball into the coupler. The trailer's coupler latch is then secured over the ball.

Goal: Securely connect the trailer to the skid steer's hitch.
