Use to have the same issues, I am 61, 6 foot tall and only weigh 145 pounds, kinda hard for me to move anything that weighs over 50 pounds. Read a tip on here about dropping the FEL and using it to nudge the tractor back and forth when hooking up and man does that work.
I back up to the implement just kinda make sure it's centered, curl the front of the bucket so the blade is straight down and drop it to the point it just takes the weight off the front wheels. Also have a hydraulic top link which makes it easy to hook up the top link. Hydraulics is your friend

All my implements are on dollies and stay on smooth concrete garage floor. My Gannon Box Blade is what I use as FEL counterweight. Things go on and off 3ph in approx. 3 minutes. I use a small sledge hammer to tap the lower arms on and off. Homebrew's correct about the balls. They get looser with time and lube.
