ABSTRACT:
A method for connecting together a tractor module and an implement module to form a complete vehicle . The tractor module includes a first coupling portion and a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid. The implement module includes a frame, a second coupling portion on the frame, a hydraulically operated movable structure on the frame and legs arranged to be selectively located between the hydraulically operated structure and the ground for supporting the implement module at rest. In carrying out the method the tractor module is moved adjacent the vehicle module so that the two coupling portions are in confronting relation. The source of pressurized hydraulic fluid on the tractor module is connected to the hydraulic actuators for the hydraulically operated structure on the implement module and the frame of the implement module is thereby moved relative to the hydraulically operated structure to get the two coupling portions in position to be joined. The tractor module is then moved toward the implement module to mesh the two coupling portions together.
