It worked as expected but he male round plug bottomed out in my tractor and would not engage the latch on the lid to hold it in. Had to sip tie it in place. I have other 7 pin round plugs which work fine but this one seems longer than the others.

Product exactly as advertised. John Deere tractor to hay wagon. Plug and play

I received this item in a plastic bag, for a few moments i wondered if it was a knock-off. I had done my home work and was sure that this item would be compatible with the socket on my John Deere 2013 5085M at the time I ordered it, not so. The 'holding ridge' at the plug-in end was not in the right position when fully inserted into the plug on the tractor. I sent multiple pictures to Pollack Technical Support but they were unable to assist me. I finally modified the item myself (something I really hate to do) so that it would fit the plug-in and be 'grasped' by the cover/holder on the tractor side. As I anticipated, the thickness of the plastic was inadequate to make the adaptation 'sweet', so I had to cover the resulting hole with silicone caulk.

Assembled with plastic sleeve to cover wiring. Sleeve has continuous slit and taped poorly at end with electrical tape. Priced reasonably.

This is a great solution for adapting RV blade connector to 6 pole connector. I give it 5 stars. I use this for work purposes, and have found one issue that I DON'T believe to be manufacturer defect. In my industry we use different trucks and trailers daily, if not hourly. Some trailer electric brakes will lock up when adapter is connected. I have found the red wire in the adapter to be the problem. My solution was to splice in a switch so that when the intermittent problem arises I can flip the switch and be on my way.


Comments
Thanks for the information Charles, I did want to let you know that there are two differnet wiring configurations for these 6-way connectors. Sometimes the red wire that you noted as the brake connector point can also be pinned as the 12V power wire. This would then activate the brakes, as you noticed. Your solution while it worked for your application is not something that we generally recommend for our customer in case they forget to flip the switch and are then towing without brakes on their trailer. For that instance we recommend repinning the connector and changing the 12V and Brake pins to correspond to the correct functions.

Well I was hoping that the product was gonna take my 7 pin round 3 wire system on my truck and turn it into a 7 blade round 2 wire system for my trailer. But it doesn't Convert my system from a 3 wire to a 2 wire. But it does go from a 7 pin round to a 7 blade round.. So Ive ordered the converter to fix my problem.

It is always a pleasure to shop at etrailer. Items are easy to locate on the website and delivered as promised. Thank you!




by: Brad 04/27/2021

My trailer connector works great. Because I live a ways from town it was great to order it online and have it shipped. It arrived quickly. One note: When I was in town I did see the same connector at NAPA for the same price. All things considered, I'm happy with my purchase and would order from etrailer again.




by: Carl10/05/2015

This adapter saved me a ton of headaches and time! I have a 1986 GMC K3500 that I tow with. I had an out of town event and a borrowed trailer I would be using. This adapter allowed me to just plug and go using my existing wiring set up. It performed flawlessly! I especially liked the built in tabs that lock in using the existing spring loaded cover to secure the plug in place. No worrying about the plug loosening up during the trip. The story would not be complete if I did not also mention the great customer service that helped me get this adapter when I needed it!




by: NorCalBruce06/02/2017

Got it just when it said it would be here. The 7 into 7 plug that was ordered is already on the truck an trailer. Thanks Guys.




by: Dusty08/02/2020

It’s a great product but not for my intended reason. It just adapts round pin to flat pin. I was looking for an adapter from commercial truck to RV trailer. Additional wiring is required to convert commercial to RV, gooseneck, etc.




by: Eddie02/21/2013

This item is high quality but the real "value" here is the outstanding customer service that etrailer provided. The 7 pin round plug provided didn't fit my 7 pin round socket and they went out of the way to research the difference in my socket and their plug. Great company.


Comments
I still like it fine but I dont use it much.

Harness worked well !!!




by: Tim R.07/12/2020

seemed to be a good product , the only problem was going from 7 pin round semi connector to 7 pin rv style the trailer brake circuit did not line up , some rewiring was required so it would work with the brake controller ( if i would have i checked your website i would have known it sooner , no problem figured it out ) used truck and trailer alot since , no problems so far




by: Mary T10/10/2017

We are so glad we found etrailer.com! We have never ordered an incorrect part because their info - and large bank of Q&As - has always told us everything we needed to know. I wanted to share our experience with the Pollack 7-way blade to 7-way round connector, part PK12-724. When researching for the correct part, we found a question from a buyer who had the same/similar vehicle, a 1993 Ford F-150 with a factory tow package. He was told to buy the PK12-724 but to cut the red and blue wires and cross-connect them. (This was info we we so glad to have!)

We did so, and most everything worked except the trailer back-up lights came on whenever the lights were turned on. We mentioned it at the RV place when we were there, and they checked it for us. Turns out that not only did we have that issue, but our trailer battery was not charging when hooked up and truck running. So on the blade end of the connector, they moved some of the wires around (see included illustration), and voila, everything now works correctly! I hope this is helpful to others. I believe the truck information is the most important info for this fix, but FYI our Trailer is a 1994 Komfort 27.




by: Duane07/28/2018

Have a '79 Dodge with the older style 7 round pin Pollack connector and bought a new camp trailer with the 7 pin spade connector...needed an adaptor. Their PK12-724 was the perfect fit! Well built, and works perfectly! Etrailer.com has fast order processing too. Very satisfied with the product, price & service!




by: Austin R. 12/22/2014

Product was exactly as described, and fit the unique need to convert the 7 pole to 7 blade trailer light system. This saved rewiring the vehicle and/or trailer.




by: WM01/10/2017

The adapter harness eliminated time & grief to replace/re-wire the commercial style plug on a farm tractor, allowing use of tail, turn, and brake lights on trailers with blade type connector. Works great.




by: Marco04/23/2017

The 14 inch extension 7 prong pigtail arrived very quickly as described. This is going to work perfect as I need the power cord from the trailer to the truck to be less than a foot longer to make the connection. Thanks for the really quick delivery on the perfect fix!! It appears to be very well built.

by: Bob D12/23/2013

This converter plug and light tester is exactly what we needed for demands of the studio industry that we work in. Allows us to quickly check the trailer light system of our trucks and get them working.
Thanks for a great product.




by: Harrison S. 08/08/2014

This is awesome!! You can't buy the raw parts for what you can buy this adapter for. With my semi truck I can easily supply trailer lights to RV travel trailers and utility trailers. I wish I had know this product existed. I'll be buying several more!




by: D J05/05/2015

Excellent quality adapter- now can use my 1992 F 350 to pull trailer with 7 blade without rewiring Ford factory receiver 7 pole Extremely pleased. Now both my Ford F 350 can pull cattle trailer.- nice to have back up available.




by: Gary L.09/01/2016

This particular adaptor was not available locally and we needed one on very short notice. The staff at etrailer made sure the product was shipped overnight so we could depart as planned the following day. While many promise good service it would appear etrailer actually has product in stock and works at getting it delivered on time, a combination that is not so common these days.

Thanks




by: David 07/21/2020

All of our trucks come wired with round pole trailer plug and some of our trailers take 7 spade style this adapter solves our problem and is cheaper than buying the parts and making them our selves.




by: Mike 06/16/2021

Works I need this to go from my John Deere tractor to my dump trailer

  • Difference Between 7-Way Round and 7-Way Blade Connectors
  • There is a difference between a 7-way round and and 7-way rv blade connector.

There is even an adapter, the Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # PK12-724, which is a 7-pole round to 7-way blade if you need to go from the uncommon 7-way round to more common 7-blade.

I will order all my trailer needs from etrailer.com from now one. It was excellent being able to order what I needed and cheaper than the auto parts store.




by: Matt12/13/2021

Product won't work correctly. I've tried it with 2 different trucks and 3 different trailers. Each Turn signal will active the hazard lights, and no tail lights. When pressing brake lights, all side marker lights will light up.

It sounds like something is not wired right in the plug. This item has a 90 day warranty so I will have Customer Service reach out to you. Attached is a help article that explains which color wire each function should handle:

Hey just what I needed in a pinch to hook my gooseneck to my semi to tow my regular truck and got it to me just when I needed it thank you




by: Kenneth 08/31/2021

I thought I would need this more than I do but I haven't towed the trailer with the tractor where I needed lights or turn signals. Works well, actually better than the tractor, half the lights don't work. (Electrics by Lucas, prince of darkness)




by: Brian D. T.08/18/2021

I ordered the wrong wiring harness and was given a return slip for credit once I realized my mistake. I was sent the correct one immediately and it fits perfectly. Great service and very reasonable costs. Thank You!

fits between the tractor and trailer

The wiring plug in for my tractor to trailer works great! Etrailer did a great job helping me pick the correct wiring plug!

It is still working well after 1 year!

by: Rod H.09/09/2017

Well made is all I can say about this adapter only because I used it once it worked out great but have not had a need to use it again. I keep it with my other towing plug adapters as I'm sure I will need to use it again someday!

After a year of using the adapter plug it has worked flawlessly Everytime Never had any issues with it not working the way it was supposed to Im very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to others

Adapter is just what I need to connect my gooseneck trailer (12V) to my military M931 tractor (24V) that has a step down converter box to accommodate the military 24V cable to the usual 12V tractor cable - this then allows the gooseneck connector to function. Appears to be well made and fits perfectly on both ends. It was shipped promptly. In fact, locating the NUMBER to search for the adapter was the hardest part - once I had that going to etrailer and putting in the number it popped right up, and the pictures helped assure me it was correct for my application. My other option of 24V magnetic lights on the trailer has been retired!




by: Steve 07/18/2021

Worked great for my needs. I only needed the round 7-pin end so I cut off the 7-blade end and wired it for my need.




by: Gary06/07/2018

I looked all over for this adapter at seven stores and everyone told me that they don't make this adapter, I have to change my trailer plug.
I looked it up on the net and you have it and I ordered it and had it in three days and it is just what I needed.
They do make it, but venders don't want to stock it. after I received it I found one at NAPA for ten dollars more then I paid for it here,
Thank you,
Gary




by: Assar11/04/2020

Wanted to be able to use the lights on a 30' flatdeck with my tractor for hauling round bales. This adapter works great. Photo attachment didn't work, but the 7 round-pin on my JD 7200R to the 7 flat pin on my trailer worked. Seems well made.

by: Shawn 01/15/2020

Used this to hook up from a box truck rigged with a 7 round pin to 7 blade on a cargo trailer. Everything fit great and worked correctly. No issues with the electric brakes.




by: Ricky Z11/07/2015

We have an 2000 Newell Coach with the round 7 pin receptacle
With this adapter all of our other adapters will fit our trucks, trailers, as well as the Newell.
Thanks for the quick shipping and great product

I have ordered from e trailer several times. Now that I have 4 trailers I will probably be ordering more parts. They ship quickly and send you updates on you order. the products are top quality. Thanks etrailer.
