Hi Larry; I reached out to Curt and found that the tongue weight capacity of the Curt Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2-1/2" Hitches # C48349 is 3,000 lbs. The closest thing we have is the # 337PM84 for a 2" hitch and # RP38186 for a 3" but both top out at 4,000 lbs. We do not carry a mounting plate for a hitch at this time with a high enough capacity for your grain trailer.

@LarryS depending on what you're towing it with you might need to add a full hitch plate like # 3371809042 that can handle that weight and allow you to mount a pintle hook like # BP38FR.
