Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Bulldog collar lock, two and 5/16 ball coupler with the round tongue mount has a 12,500 pound weight capacity. Now this is a heavy duty coupler. It's ideal for utility, livestock, cargo and construction trailers. You can see it is a round tubular tongue mount design. It is a well done application.
Now, the tongue mount on this, if I give you a few measurements, the overall diameter or outer diameter on this, it's gonna be right at two and a quarter inches. The inner portion diameter, one and three quarter inches. It is a steel tubing, which is very strong and durable. And this is a collar lock design. So it will offer automatic, continuously tight fit for absolute security.
Basically what you would do is pull this pin out. If you unlatch this safety pin and pull that out, it'll let you slide this collar back down and then the spring will pop this open. It has a hinge ball socket here. It makes hook up a snap. You just put it onto your two and 5/16 diameter ball, close it in, and then let the locks, or the collar slide right up and it locks it into place.
And then for extra security, you just drop the pin through there, lock latch it, and you're all ready to go. And what's nice is when you look at it, it'll give you a visual indication of proper closure, which provides additional peace of mind. The pin style fastening is what'll secure the connection. Few specs on this. The overall length from this end to this end, if we measure it, is gonna be right at 13 and a quarter inches.
And again, the weight capacity, which will be stamped right on the top here is 12,500 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Bulldog collar lock, two and 5/16 inch ball coupler with the round tongue mount and a 12,500 pound weight capacity.
Product exactly what I ordered
Excellent product
Great price and service. I look forward to doing business with you again.
Exactly what I needed for an old farm wagon that had a broken hitch. High quality and VERY tough.
Exactly as described
Works exactly as expected
just received but is exactly what I need-will install Tuesday. Will let you hear from me then. Raining & drove to Alexandria,La-today to visit my brother in hospital- he had both knees replaced.
Awesome product
My use is non-traditional and so would benefit from less spring tension but an otherwise great investment.
The bull nose hitches look like they are of superior quality.
Instant, reliable and on-time service. The easiest website to navigate I have seen in 5 years.
WOW. A company that apparently really cares. "Just what I wanted" was my husbands remark about the hitch receiver. He could not been happier with the purchase as well as the attention shown him through emails. The shipping time was super, especially as we ordered it during Christmas rush. Thank you. I know you will be his "go to place" and has already told several people about you.
item worked as expected. I used the product to create a push bar to move vehicles in and out of my shop. by putting one of these couplers on either end of a pipe, I am able to move non running vehicles in and out of my shop as needed.
couplers are very secure.

Exactly what I was looking to order. Best prices available. Believe me, I search! Also found a 5% discount code. Every bit helps. Was shipped immediately and actually came a day earlier than my email informed me.
Great job Etrailer Corp
Product arrives as described and the quality is great. It was exactly as described nd I am ore than happy with the way it hitches.
I had ordered three items from trailer and all arrived on time, in good condition and in one box. The coupler is well made and the trailer and coupler are at the welding shop. Since I have to store my trailer in a location several miles from my home ,the only addition I will make to the coupler will be a lock.
Best decision ever to use a bulldog hit ch!
This coupler was not only a replacement part but an upgrade over the OEM coupler on this trailer!
Great place to deal with. Thank you guys for your service!!!!

Happy to hear that, Lanorah! Thank you very much. Happy Easter!
Products are as advertised. Metal and castings are good quality. Units handled prep and welding nicely.
Only two minor points of annoyance.
One of the spring retainers arrived broken at the clip end. A spot of delicate mig welding re-assembled it.
The paint on all four units was thick enough to inhibit both the lock pin holes and the ball cup pivot actions. A bit of rat tail file work and some oil rectified both.

Parts went on our Rose Parade float, for towing in case of drive failure. Regularly used to train crews in application. Have not been needed during parade as yet. With luck theyll die in place, of old age. :
Very well made and it welded on nicely. Solid product.
This is exactly what I wanted. I have use a smaller version of this on another trailer I built in 1980 it still works great. So I knew what I wanted when I began looking for a heavier duty one. I wish I already had it mounted so I could upload a picture of it in use. I say that because I make it removable, I have been using the other one I have on both my trailers but that means I have to make two trips rather than having a buddy pull one of them. But doing it this way makes it hard for someone to steal my trailers. I always have good luck buying from www.etrailer.com

This coupler has performed as it should, having a location to supply quality parts for repairs and maintenance is critical to maintaining a reputation like the one I have regarding trailer maintenance and repairs. I believe in doing the job right, and parts of a lesser quality just don’t make sense in a world where liability is such a big threat! I prefer parts like those I find at e trailer!
