Hi Jacob!

The Demco Surge Brake Actuator - Drum - Primed - 2" Slide-Lok Coupler # DM8509202 is pretty unique with that style coupler and is only available for drum brakes. I do have another option that is pretty similar that you might be interested in though:

Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop - Disc - Zinc - 2" Ball - 8,000 lbs # DM8669113

This has a different coupler, which I think is much easier to use, but you could swap that out for something like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ Pin - 2" Ball - 3" Channel Tongue - 7,000 lbs # BD028243. This would need to be drilled to have it mate to the actuator, but it could be done fairly easily.

Out of curiosity, would you be interested in a completely different coupler? We do have a bunch of other options.
