Nobody Makes This Mini-Excavator Attachment — So I Fabricated It Myself

What happens here

Using the custom hitch attachment, the excavator is positioned to connect to a 2-inch ball hitch on a dump trailer. The operator carefully maneuvers the excavator to align the hitch receiver with the trailer's ball, then secures the connection. This step demonstrates the precision and control offered by the mini-excavator for trailer coupling, even in grassy, uneven terrain.

Goal: Attach the dump trailer to the excavator using the custom hitch.
