FARM EQUIPMENT FUN!

What happens here

The host drives the Ventrac 4500Y into the red front loader attachment. He highlights a key feature of the Ventrac: its belt drive system for front implements. This system powers a self-contained hydraulic tank located within the loader itself, meaning the loader's hydraulics do not mix with or contaminate the tractor's main hydraulic fluid. To attach the loader, he pulls the Ventrac into position, hooks up the belt, and then secures the loader by flipping down and tightening a tab on each side. Finally, he engages the PTO (Power Take-Off) to activate the loader's hydraulic system, making it ready for operation.

Goal: Drive the Ventrac into the front loader attachment, secure it, and activate its hydraulic system via the PTO.
