An agricultural vehicle (10) has an implement connection hitch (22) including means for controllably moving the same relative to a rear axle (17) of the vehicle under the direction of a vehicle control system (20, 21). Under user control from a cab (11) of the vehicle, the hitch is moved rearward from the vehicle until it reaches a first position at a chosen distance from the rear axle. Following the attachment of a known implement (19) to the hitch, the control system retracts the hitch and implement toward the rear axle to a second position at a distance from the rear axle determined in the control system (20) optionally at least partly on the basis of the identity of the implement. The identity of the implement may be input (21) by the user or determined via an ISOBUS connection (32).
