Default Re: Trailer coupler rating

Sorry, I don't know where to get the 10k 2" ball online. I bought mine from a trailer supply outfit in Ft. Pierce, Fl., along with the 6" gusseted drop mount I used on my F250 to pull my tractor. The ball had the same diameter shank as my 2 5/16" ball, I think it was 1 1/4" shank. They both were stamped for 10k rating. My Hurst 20' equip. trailer had a cast Bulldog type coupler with 10k rating stamped into it, not sure if it was the Bulldog brand. I just sold my F250 and 2 heavy trailers about a month ago so I don't have them here anymore. That Hurst trailer was a 14k trailer by the way, with that 10k rated coupler. I wondered about it for awhile but in the 7 years I had it I'd hauled my tractors around thousands & thousands of miles on all kinds of roads and fields.
