Abstract
A method for assisting a hitching operation between an agricultural utility vehicle and an implement to be attached thereto includes providing a vehicle side first laser unit and a vehicle side second laser unit, generating a first vertical light fan by the vehicle side first laser unit, and generating a second vertical light fan by the vehicle side second laser unit. The first and second vertical light fans are aligned with a hitching point or a reference point that characterizes the hitching point on the implement for carrying out the hitching operation.
