Today we're going to be taking a look at the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler. This heavy-duty coupler is ideal for utility, livestock, cargo and construction trailers. You simply attach it to your trailer. It provides a good attachment point of the hitch ball on your tow vehicle. The unit is going to feature a wedge-style latch mechanism that's very secure and easy to use. So it's got the trigger latch lever up here. You can see how that controls that wedge underneath to engage and disengage from the hitch ball. Located right here is the built-in attachment point for a round utility jack.
This is going to give us an inner diameter of 2 1/4 of an inch, and then it's got the pre-drilled attachment points for a bolt on installation of a round utility jack. Those are threaded and ready to receive new hardware, and they're going to be separated on an industry standard of about 3 inches apart from one another. And again, that's gonna have an opening of 2 1/4 inches. But that simply allows for the easy installation of a round utility jack. This coupler is designed for 50 degree A-frame trailer tongues. It's made from a durable steel construction, and it already has a primed finish on it.
It's gray in color, that way you can easily paint this to match the rest of your setup, like your trailer frame or whatever it is your vehicle. That's already been primed, that way you don't have to do priming to it to paint it the color that you want. I also want to point out that it does not come with a coupler pin. You can find a coupler pin and clip or a coupler pin and lock here at etrailer.com. But when you lift up this latch mechanism, I want you to notice that the latch does not remain in the open position, but it does provide a set of holes there, so if you have a coupler pin, you can move the latch to the open position, install a pin, and that will keep the unit up, which opens that wedge for your hitch ball. You can also add a coupler pin to it in the down position to increase security between the connection point from the coupler to the hitch ball to the towed vehicle, making sure that this doesn't accidentally disconnect, which that trigger latch design is a nice feature. You have to press in on that to open the latch.
If you don't press in on that trigger, then this will not open. I would recommend using a coupler pin and lock, that way when you leave your trailer unattended, nobody's going to be able to get a lock off of there to connect this to their vehicle and to go off with your trailer. The pinhole diameter is 5/16 of an inch. The usable span or pin length needed, measuring edge to edge right here, you can see that's at least going to be 1 inch. I'd probably go with something a little bit larger than that, maybe 1 1/3 to 1 1/4, just to give you some room in there. This is designed for a 2 5/16 inch hitch ball. The length of the unit, measuring very back to very front, it's going to be around 18 long in overall length.
Again the hole diameter for the round utility jack is 2 1/4 inches, hardware not included, and it's going to offer a 15,000 pound capacity. That's going to do it for today's look at the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Weld-On Cast Head Coupler.

Durable cast coupler features the easy-to-use Wedge Latch for simple, quick hookup and has a built-in attachment point for round, A-frame utility jacks.Doesn't fit well, even though your website said this was the correct hitch for this make and model trailer.
I have been installing these on our work trailers the last couple years. They work great. I'm using this one to convert my 5th wheel car trailer to a bumper pull trailer
Identical replacement for a bent couple r.
My husband loves this hitch. I don't have to worry about it coming unhitched from the bumper like our old one did. It stands true to its name "The Bulldog" He has told several family and friends about it and some of them has ordered them one for their trailers
As we were traveling, the female 1/2 that was on the trailer (original equipment) popped off the ball, the safety chains held. but took the whole pickup and trailer into the ditch. Luckily no body hurt or too much damage. I learned now that the galvanized pressed tin ones wear out. beware!
I spent the money for a heavy one. Looking at it now that I have it, it is heavier in real life than in the picture. This will solve the problem for the trailers life.
Ordered a Bulldog coupler and Jack for a horse trailer from a photo I sent in. etrailer rep responded quickly and made a recommendation. It arrived today after only a few days. It's exactly what I needed. Good communications, good price, fast shipping and it fit when it got here. Nothing gets better then that....
Product looks great quality as you see it in the picture is exactly what you get . Got a pair of electronic brakes and they came ready to install no missing pieces overall great company to buy stuff I will recommend people to buy from this company.
Cant get it to let go of ball when disc onnecting.
Replaced the original part ( factory installed) because it cracked and just replaced again for the same problem but added a gusit to both sides, fingers crossed

I know that this coupler is meant to be a replacement for a 50 degree A frame trailer tongue. Can you tell me in more detail how it is fitting for you?
