Abstract: An automatic hitch assembly for raising, positioning and coupling a tongue portion of a trailing vehicle to a drawbar portion of a pulling vehicle allowing for automatic coupling of the trailing vehicle with respect to the pulling vehicle while the driver remains in the pulling vehicle. A V-shaped guide member on the drawbar portion of the pulling vehicle is pivotal from an uncoupled substantially horizontal orientation, for receiving an elongated probe member on the tongue portion of the trailing vehicle during raising and positioning of the trailer vehicle, to a coupled substantially vertical orientation in which the V-shaped guide member is free from contact from the elongated probe member.
