My recommendation is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 7,000 lbs, part # DM72VR. It is rated for 7,000 lbs and it has Demco's EZ-Latch Coupler. This actuator does not have a reverse lockout, so your trailer would need free-backing brakes. This is so you do not activate your trailer's brakes while driving in reverse.

If you need an actuator with a reverse lockout, my recommendation is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout - Disc - Zinc - 2" Ball - 7,000 lbs, part # DM62VR. This is the same brake actuator as the previous model, except it has the electric lockout.

I have included product description links and video demo links below.
