Video Transcript for Review of Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler - Gooseneck Coupler Head 2-5/16" Ball 24K - BDGN240200
Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head. Now, this cast steel coupler head is designed to be welded to a three inch or four inch diameter tubing to create a heavy-duty gooseneck coupler with fast and easy latching action. It is self latching, so you would just lower the coupler onto the gooseneck ball, and the coupler will self latch once it hits the bottom of the ball. Now, when installing, you should place the flat side toward your trailer, and the handle should be on the driver's side. The handle on the driver's side is gonna make it easier for the driver to operate instead of making someone have to go all around the truck or trailer to use that handle. Again, the cast steel construction is strong and durable, and it does have a built in grease zerk to keep everything greased and lubricated.
Let me give you some measurements. First off, the diameter of the bump here on the outside of the coupler head, this diameter is going to be three inches, and then looking at the overall depth, we are sitting right at about five inches all together, so about five inches on that depth, and then measuring the width, I'm gonna include the hardware for our handle, we're sitting a little over six inches, probably right at about 6 1/8 inches on that width, and then looking at the handle length, and I'm gonna be measuring from the spring to the end of that handle, we're sitting right at, let me line that up a little better for you, we're sitting right at six inches on that handle length. And then again, this is going to work for a 2 5/16 inch ball. So again, a 2 5/16 inch ball. This has a maximum capacity of 24,000 pounds.
By the way, I didn't mention this, but the overall height is gonna be sitting right at about three inches. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today at this gooseneck coupler head. I hope it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..

Weld this cast steel coupler head to 3" or 4" diameter tubing to create a heavy-duty gooseneck coupler with fast and easy latching action.by: Gary07/30/2015
Since I put these hitches on my trailers I have not once crawled up on the side of the truck to latch the hitch. Now when my friends see them they ask where can I get one. I have built several more for friends. Greatest invention ever.

What rod did you use to weld it in?

Your people stayed in touch through email and due to supply issues assisted in making a substitution and followed up with me. Thank you and I will do business with you again!

Absolutely love this hitch latches on its own and ran a cable and handle on the gooseneck to unlatch without getting in the box of the pickup. Absolutely great
by: Alex F03/26/2020
We have had this coupler for a year now and we are thrilled with it. It’s easy to hitch and unhitch.

We have ordered dozens of these for our company vehicles and have never had a problem. The delivery time has been wonderful as well.
by: Terry S.03/04/2015
I ordered it with 3 day shipping and was at my door step in 3 days.
This is exactly what I need to make a adapter from gooseneck to
5th wheel.

See what our Experts say about this Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler
- Gooseneck Coupler Hitch Ball Locking HeadYes. The Gooseneck Coupler - 24K # BDGN240200 will work on some square tubes as well. It is designed for 3 inch or 4 inch diameter round tubing and has a built in grease zerk.
view full answer... - Mounting Orientation For Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler HeadWhen installing the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head, part # BDGN240200, you will place the flat side toward the trailer and the handle should be on the driver side. The handle on the driver side makes it easier for the driver to operate instead of making someone have to go all the around the truck or trailer to use the handle.
view full answer... - Material of Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler HeadThe Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BDGN240200 is cast steel. And yes, I recommend the welding to be performed by an experienced welder.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Coupler Attached To 3 Inch Adjustable Tubing AvailabilityWe do not offer a coupler that is mounted on a 3 inch adjustable tube. We do offer a Bulldog coupler, part # BDGN240200, that can be welded to a 3 inch or a 4 inch diameter tube.
view full answer... - Outside Diameter of the Bump on Top of the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BDGN240200I spoke to my contact at Bulldog and he informed me that the outer diameter of the "bump" on the outside of the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BDGN240200 is 3 inches.

- Gooseneck Coupler Recommendation to Weld to a 3 inch Square TubeYes, you could weld the 2-5/16" Gooseneck Coupler Head # 291300 to the bottom of a 3 inch outer diameter tube. Check out the picture I attached that shows the dimensions of this coupler.

- How to Hold Latch of BDGN240200 Gooseneck Trailer Coupler in Place While Lowering Trailer onto BallThe Bulldog # BDGN240200 is perfect for this application, as it's self latching. Lower the coupler onto the gooseneck ball and the coupler will self latch once it hits bottom on the ball. To un-latch and hold the coupler open, I'd recommend using a bungee cord like # 348509, put one hook in the hole on the latch handle and the other hook to a tie-down in the bed or a stake pocket.
view full answer... - Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Like # BDGN240200 Is Difficult To OperateSince the # BDGN240200 is a weld-on application. I am not sure if it would be easy to just change out the coupler on your trailer as it will require cutting and grinding to prep for the new weld. You may simply want to try some white lithium grease to see if that frees up the current mechanism a bit and makes it easier to unhook the trailer. It is designed to allow you to move the lever to open the jaws and pull the vehicle out. If that does not help you may want to consider either replacing...
view full answer... - Recommended Coupler for Bulldog GN24 CouplerI spoke with my contact at Bulldog and he informed me that there isn't really a great way to lock the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BDGN240200. What you will need to do is jack your trailer high enough that no one could hook up to the trailer and then lock the jack handle in such a way that the trailer can't be lowered. For a cable lock that would work well to lock the handle you could use the Master Lock Python Cable Lock # 8419DPF.

What you will need to do is jack the trailer this coupler is installed on high enough that no one could hook up to the trailer and then lock the jack handle in such a way that the trailer couldn't be lowered.

view full answer... - Repair Kit for Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler BDGN240200I checked, and though the torsion spring by itself is available like you mentioned with the Replacement Torsion Spring for Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head # BD2200-28, the retaining ring alone is not available. So in order to get both parts you will need to get the Bulldog Gooseneck Coupler Head Repair Kit # BD1542S01.
