Replacement 15,000LB Coupler For a 18' A-Frame Trailer

Question

Question:

Im hoping that with these pictures you can help me choose a replacement weld on A-Frame. Im thinking 15K. Its for an 18foot trailer that will be towing a John Deere Subcompact tractor and attachments, I feel for some reason the current A-Frame has become week. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

I recommend installing the A-Frame Trailer Coupler # CA-5280-RB on your trailer. This has a cutout with bolt holes for a tongue jack. It places the opening where it is structurally stronger so it is less likely to bend like your current coupler.
