What happens here

Take the trailer ball mount (a multi-ball type is shown) and slide its shank into one of the receiver slots on the skid steer hitch receiver. The video shows the lower slot being used. Once inserted to the correct depth, align the pinholes and slide the hitch pin through both the receiver and the ball mount shank. Secure the hitch pin with its cotter pin or clip to prevent it from accidentally falling out.

Goal: Insert and secure the trailer ball mount into the receiver
