STUPID MISTAKE! Here's what I did! First Pull New (old) Cummins Truck!
What happens here
The farmer proceeds to connect the Belmont flatbed gooseneck trailer, now loaded with hay bales, to his new white Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins pickup truck. He carefully backs the truck under the gooseneck hitch, lowers the trailer onto the hitch ball using the remote control, and then secures the hitch mechanism. Finally, he attaches the safety chains and checks the functionality of the brake controller.
Goal: Securely hitch the loaded trailer to the pickup truck for transport.
