Brent walks through the full sequence step by step: raising the loader, engaging the parking brake and range selector, flipping the hitch assist switch, exiting the seat, then adjusting arm height and moving the tractor forward/reverse from the rear control panel to hook up an implement solo.

Posted by Western Equipment, a dealership channel presenting a straightforward instructional walkthrough rather than an independent review.
It is a feature that lets you hook up rear implements at the back of the tractor with the tractor running, without being in the seat.
Raise the loader, engage the parking brake, put the range selector into a range, then flip the hitch assist switch on until the flasher starts flashing.
At the rear, push in the knob and turn left to raise the arms or push in and turn right to lower them, sometimes needing pressure to lower.
At the rear control panel, hold down the engage button at the same time as the forward or reverse button to move the tractor slowly.
