Semi automatic hitches require a ‘pin’ to be inserted in order to lock off and secure the connection. If this pin is not inserted then the machine will still work, but in the event of a loss of power it will work itself loose and the bucket/ attachment will fall off. The real danger is that this could take half a minute or half an hour which makes it unpredictable.
