What happens here

To disconnect a wagon, the operator pulls a release cable from inside the tractor cab. This action disengages the latch mechanism of the automatic hitch, releasing the wagon tongue. Once released, a 'V-guide' component of the hitch automatically lowers, positioning itself to assist in guiding the next wagon tongue into the hitch for subsequent connections.

Goal: Learn to safely disconnect the wagon from the tractor.
