I have the Quickbite 7700 AXT stainless steel adjustable mount on a custom built 20 foot trailer. I got too tired of trying to hook up my previous trailer by myself. Back up, get out and check, determine how much to turn the wheel, how far to back up, get back in, back up more, opps, to far,, etc etc. Now I install the sight poles and back into the trailer, it automatically connects and all I have to do is insert the safety pin and store the sight poles. Couldn't be easier. I think I paid around $175 for it, but believe me, it's worth it. If I buy another trailer, I guarantee it will have a version of this coupler installed

We just put a deposit on one..we have been looking at them for a LONG time..finally broke down yesterday and bought this 20+5
Gator Made Trailers :: Trailers - Utility Trailers - Gooseneck Trailers - Equipment Trailers - Trailer Parts - Gator Made Trailers, is one of the largest open air trailer manufacturers in the US and the largest in Kentucky for the preceding 11 years.
all LED's side mount tool box and 5 chrome wheel simulators..ended up getting all the options for free..about 1k in options..needless to say I think they are a very well built trailer with good customer service and good reputation.
Currently they are negotiable too. We saw the trailers in person at the AG show in Moultrie GA and Shawn from Gatormade (KY location) has been a pleasure to deal with..they started building our trailer today and should be ready next week.
Thus far I would highly recommend them..we had a good friend of our that went with us to the AG show he is a welder and a fabricator..I didnt know gatormade was gonna have a booth..but I was happy they did..I had our friend look over the trailer real good and he was thoroughly impressed..and he has a PJ and said if he had it to do over again he would highly consider the gator over the PJ..plus he is a John Deere guy and they offer that color for 150 bucks more over black!
Hope this helps with your decision!

I don't know if this is my band or not as I'm not home to check and my rating may be off but this link is the kind I have. They are called auto engage couplers and do work slick. Especially behind a tractor as I can just lift the ball into the coupler from the seat and it latches itself. To release I lower the hitch set to fall when I pull the handle. When hooking to the truck you just lower and watch the handle raise itself and then return to latch position. Slick I tell you...Slick.

I have had three GatorMade trailers and have made a few posts about them over the past two or three years. I think they are one of the best made utility trailers around. They are very well-made and have features not commonly seen on ANY level of trailer. They also track really well when pulling. I can highly recommend them. Right now, I am between tractors and do not have a utility trailer (sold mine to a friend who uses one much more than I do) but when I buy, I will go with another GatorMade.
