Since your tongue weight is starting out over 600 pounds the Reese Round Bar Strait-Line Hitch with Shank 1,200 lbs. TW / 12,000 lbs. GTW, item # RP66084, will be an excellent choice. Even if fully loaded the trailer tongue weight gets to the maximum recommended tongue weight of 15 percent of the total trailer weight, loaded and ready to travel you should not go over the maximum 1200 pound tongue weight of the Reese Round Bar Strait-Line Hitch.

Along with the weight distribution system you will need a properly sized and rated hitch ball. The Hitch Ball with 2-5/16 inch Diameter and Medium Shank, 12,000 lbs GTW - Chrome, item # 19286, would be a good choice if you have a 2-5/16 inch coupler, and if you have a 2 inch coupler the Hitch Ball with 2 inch Diameter and Medium Shank, 8,000 lbs GTW - Chrome, item # A-90, would be a good choice.
