How to install automatic gate opener..part 1

What happens here

Before digging, the existing box blade attachment on the tractor must be removed. The presenter detaches the box blade from the three-point hitch. He notes the top link is bent, making attachment and detachment difficult, which can be a common frustration when dealing with tractor implements. This step is crucial for preparing the equipment needed for digging the holes for the outdoor fixture's posts.

Goal: The box blade attachment is removed from the tractor to prepare it for attaching the post-hole digger (auger), a necessary step before digging the holes for the gate posts.
