I believe you were referring to in general what does a 2" or 3" channel mean since you didn't reference any specific coupler, but a 2" or 3" channel is simply the width of the your trailer tongue the coupler attaches to.
For example the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # CT-3001-Z fits a 2" wide trailer tongue and the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 fits a 3" wide trailer tongue.

The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 5" Tongue part # FHDPB350101 will work with an A-Frame Big Bubba Deckover trailer with a straight tongue welded beneath it. As long as the straight tongue is a 3" x 5" trailer tongue with a material thickness between .188" and .120". Please take a look at the accompanying chart to determine the maximum pivot length allowable for your particular straight tongue.
If your straight tongue is not 3"x5" I have attached a link to the available... view full answer...
I have a solution that might work for your problem. The Bulldog Cast Head Coupler for 2 Inch Ball, # BDA2005C0317, is an adjustable coupler that can be welded to the end of the trailer tongue. This is the only coupler that may work for your application.
We carry many straight tongue couplers that will work with either a 1-7/8 or 2 inch ball, but we do not have a trailer coupler that can be bolted or welded on a 4 inch channel. The largest application that our straight couplers can fit... view full answer...
We do have an option for you, though the straight tongue trailer couplers that fit 3" tongues only fit either a 2" or 1-7/8" ball, but not both. If that's okay, the best option is a coupler from Demco:
- Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - eZ-Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs # 12564
This coupler accepts a 2" ball and will bolt onto your boat trailer's 3" straight tongue. It has a simple-to-use eZ-Latch that will latch onto your hitch ball automatically, and is zinc-coated... view full answer...
Yes, a coupler lock can be used on the Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler # T4853100.
If you want to secure the trailer when it is not hitched, you can use the etrailer.com Coupler Lock # e98894 or the similar # e98895. Both of these prevent someone from hitching to your coupler.
If you prefer a coupler latch lock you can use # 2847DAT from Master Lock. This type of lock works with the trailer coupled or not. view full answer...
I'm sorry to hear about the damage that occurred to your trailer, but it is not safe to change out the size of the hitch ball to accommodate a damaged coupler, which, from your description, is what it sounds like you have. That is especially true considering you say you have a "very heavy duty" trailer, because smaller 1-7/8" hitch balls have lesser, under-5k capacities.
The best option is going to be to replace your damaged coupler with a new one that will allow you to properly - and... view full answer...
You mentioned A-frame, though it looks like the Shelby 5135 is a straight tongue coupler, so I'll give options for both. Since you don't want a trigger latch you'll need to upgrade to a 10k coupler but that won't be an issue, and here is what you can use:
- A-Frame Coupler: Demco Cast Head Coupler # DM37ZR
- Straight Tongue Coupler: Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52
Both the # DM37ZR and # DM15000-52 are bolt on, fit a 2" hitch ball, and use an eZ-latch so you'll just... view full answer...
The only straight tongue trailer coupler we offer for a 1-7/8" hitch ball that fits a 2-1/2" wide channel is the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler part # CT-2002-Z. The bolt holes on this coupler are spaced 2-1/4" apart. Unfortunately, I don't have the specs on your trailer so you will need to measure the bolt hole spacing yourself and compare that to the above. We do not have a repair kit for the trailer coupler you have now. view full answer...
There's no adjustments or replacement parts available for the Dexter Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler item # T4853100 you were looking at. If this is the same one that's on your trailer I do recommend replacing it if you are concerned about it coming off of your hitch ball.
If this isn't the one you have on your trailer, go ahead and email me back the part number or model of your current coupler and I will see if there are any replacement parts. view full answer...
Usually you want to have a coupler that fits the exact channel size on your trailer tongue but you should still be able to get a coupler designed for a 3" channel, like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ Pin # BD028244, to fit your 2" trailer tongue by welding on some shims to take up the extra 1/2" on either side of your tongue. I recommend having a professional welder do this for you so they will know how to get the welds exactly right for this type of application. view full answer...
Yes, you are able to add additional structure to mount a A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5210-B on a straight tongue trailer. This would make the trailer stronger and less likely to have an issue with the pole tongue sagging from weight. view full answer...
We have the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM16080-52 for a straight tongue and the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM16680-52 for A-Frame. Both are made in the USA, are bolt on and rated for up to 21,000lbs. Both come with the eZ-Latch coupler to make connecting to your trailer easier. view full answer...
Yep!
The farthest mounting holes on the Dexter Straight Tongue Coupler # T4853100 you were looking at are 5" apart as shown in the included diagram, and I was able to find that the DX20 you have uses mounting holes 5" apart as well allowing you to reuse your existing mounting holes. view full answer...
The Repair Kit for Fulton Channel Tongue Coupler with Hand Wheel Latch, # F520801, fits the Fulton 308 series couplers.
The Repair Kit for Husky Channel Tongue Trailer Couplers, HT87084 (discontinued), fits the Husky 6,000 pound straight-tongue coupler for 2 inch hitch balls.
Since both of these parts were designed to fit different brands of couplers, I can not guaranty that these will interchange.
In order to determine which repair kit will work for you, I would just need to know the... view full answer...
Unless your trailer coupler specifies that it can fit both the 1-7/8" and 2" size trailer balls, I recommend not trying to change the guts of the coupler to fit a 2" ball.
I recommend changing the coupler to the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15945. This coupler has an EZ latch coupler that will drop onto and latch to your 2" ball without having to unlatch the coupler. Both couplers will bolt onto a 3" wide straight tongue coupler. If you have a different size or A-Frame coupler... view full answer...
I contacted the manufacturer of the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler, # FHDPW330300, and they told me that it does not matter which way you install the coupler to your trailer.
You can decide which way you want you trailer coupler to swing that will work the best for your application. view full answer...
We offer 3 trailer couplers that will fit a 2-1/2 inch channel and work with a 2 inch ball, but none have the mounting bolt spacing of 4 inches.
Part # DL13847 has mounting holes spaced 3 inches apart center to center.
The Dutton-Lainson Coupler, part # F222500301 we offer has mounting holes that are spaced 3-1/8 inches apart. view full answer...
You could technically leave the coupler you have now, 84132, on the trailer but would get some extra movement when the actuator moves in and out. But since regular trailer couplers are so inexpensive you could go with # HT87076 which also fits a 2 inch ball, fits a 3 inch tongue, and has the mounting holes at 3 inches on center just like your old actuator. I have linked a video review of this coupler for you. view full answer...
The part you asked about is discontinued, does not fit, and Atwood is no longer in business so they don't have replacement parts. You'll need to purchase a replacement coupler:
- Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM16080-95
- Titan Zinc-Plated Straight-Tongue Coupler # T4853100
Both couplers fit a 2-5/16" hitch ball and have a 21,000 lb capacity. view full answer...
Yes, you will be able to use the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 336TS508 with your wood chipper. This coupler is rated for up to 1,100lbs of tongue weight and 11,000lbs of total trailer weight.
You will need a hitch like the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503505 to work with the coupler. The hitch shares the same 1,100lbs of tongue weight and 11,000lbs of trailer weight capacities. It has a 3 position mount allowing for up to 4-1/4" of rise or drop. view full answer...
