I Should have done this years ago!
What happens here
Begin by retrieving the dump trailer from storage. Use a pick-up truck to back up to the trailer, align the hitch ball with the trailer coupler, and then use the trailer's hydraulic remote control to lower the trailer tongue onto the hitch ball. Secure the coupler, connect the safety chains, and attach the trailer break-away cable to the truck. Conduct a final check of all connections for safety.
Goal: Securely attach the dump trailer to the truck for transport.
