Topper, not sure what the UK translation is, but must be a 3 pt mounted implement.
I quick hitch would be ideal for some, but I've never had too much trouble hooking up 3 pt implements without help.
Make sure the lift arms have enough swing or free play beyond the width of the lift pins on the implement, adjust turnbuckles or limit chains and or whatever you may have on your DB. I try and set the height close, a little lower, and tray to center so the lift arms push in and and I can lift onto or align the lift pins. You can target one, put a lynch pin in, then hold one brake and let the tractor turn into the other, close the gap and or hinge over to the opposite pin, now each to their own, usually, with enough play in those arms, you back in straight, and only use the brake if one side is not close enough. I'm sure preferences vary, but I never have help, the one thing I do forget it some implements the pto shaft is best hooked or lined up and close before attaching lift arms, I forget which tractor and implement, but I have done that and not had enough clearance to hook the pto shaft on, unless I hooked into it first, then backed up, and set the arms. Obviously do not back or go to far forward if its locked on the pto shaft, don't want to bend it or something. There have been time where I have connected one lift arm and pushed back on the implement to get it to line up, as well as reaching down, and setting them from the seat, problem is its kinda too far to stretch, foot comes off the clutch, you are stretched out leaning over, you could get tossed off with a running tractor in gear, not really a good idea, to do that unless maybe you had a tool that would reach the lift arm(s) to set them, and if its that bad, best to have that 2nd person around, or that quick hitch if you can use one of the many being offered out there today.
