What happens here

After the hitch receiver is securely mounted, a trailer ball assembly is inserted into the square receiver opening. This trailer ball will connect to the trailer's coupler. The operator then enters the cab of the Bobcat skid steer and, using the internal controls, presses the switch labeled 'BOB-TACH WEDGES DOWN'. This action lowers internal wedges that fully engage and lock the quick-attach mechanism, preventing any movement or detachment of the hitch receiver during operation.

Goal: Prepare the hitch for trailer connection and secure the attachment to the skid steer.
