Is Inner Leg of Bulldog Trailer Jack # BD500200 Solid Tube or Welded Tube

Updated 08/13/2018 | Published 08/12/2018

Question:

Is the jack tube a solid tube or is a sheet that has been rolled and welded? The jack that I have presently is rolled and welded at each end. I use a PowerCaster model PC-2 to move my new travel trailer. My previous trailer electric tongue jack was rolled but the entire seam was welded close. I never had one problem with it. The new Trail Trailer Jack is a rolled tube, welded at each end and the seam is more like a slip joint. Well the slip joint collapsed and the bottom weld broke when I used my PowerCaster. The reason I am thinking about the BullDog as opposed to the previous jack is for the extra lift and the fact that I would not have to use the 2.25 inch adapter. The PowerCaster is made for 2.25 inch diameter adapter. I would not have to use the adapter any more.

The inner leg of the Bulldog Powered Drive Trailer Jack # BD500200 that you referenced is a solid tube. It does not have a welded seam that runs up the leg of the jack.
