What happens here
The skid steer operator carefully backs the machine, aligning the truck hitch attachment with the trailer's ball coupler. Once aligned, the skid steer's hydraulics are used to raise the hitch slightly to engage the trailer's coupler. The video shows the operator dismounting momentarily to confirm the connection (around 0:17-0:19), ensuring the trailer is properly seated and secured on the ball. The safety chains from the trailer are also visibly connected to the skid steer hitch.
Goal: Securely connect the skid steer's hitch to the trailer's ball coupler.
