This publication deals with the improvement of occupational safety and health duringcoupling and uncoupling of implements or tools and agricultural tractors by technicalmeans. Furthermore the comfort of the driver and the working conditions are taken intoaccount.In agriculture working with tractors is characterized by a frequent change of implementsor tools. This coupling and uncoupling involves a permanent risk of severe accidents[1,2]. To reduce this risk automatic couplers have been engineered and are on themarket. But they only work properly, if the tractor can approach the implement or toolclosely enough to bring the automatic couplers into action.If the operator fails to drive the tractor into the catching area where the automaticcouplers come into action, he or another person often steps into the space betweentractor and implement to adjust the implement position and to connect the couplingelements manually, a situation with a high risk of accidents.In the following, technical means are proposed to enable the operator to safely back uphis tractor into the catching area of the couplers, even if the coupling area is not visiblefrom his position. Operators comfort is also improved by these means and thepresuppositions for a complete automatic coupling are achieved.
