You gave me a good laugh this morning! šŸ˜‚

Are you sure the coupler is 2-5/16" though? Looks like 2" in the photo which would be more typical for that size trailer. Just wondering.
Yes it’s a 2-5/16ā€ here is a link to the specs from the manufacturer’s website. It’s a really well built little trailer. PEQUEA TRAILERS

Surprisingly, my little 16 footer has a 2 5/16 ball as well.

I was a little ā€œtaken abackā€ when I went to pick it up and found out.

My boat trailer is a standard 2ā€ , so I had to get one of those ā€œflip overā€ ball systems.

Kind of a PITA to be honest…….but ā€œit is, what it isā€ I guess. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Just little cutting and welding and BAM...all your stuff can be the same size.šŸ˜‰

I changed out my little utility trailer from 1-7/8 to 2" to match my car trailer. Now my new (to me) dump trailer is 2-5/16, but that might get changed to a lunete eye, not sure. But either way, I'm now in the same boat and have a B&W turn-over ball/adjustable hitch on the also new to me 2016 Duramax.

I see that the specs state 2-5/16" coupler but it looks like a 2". Pictures can be deceiving but so can printed specs. :unsure:

That is quite the trailer for hauling a Zero turn.
But better is always better!
And that is a really nice looking trailer.

Nice! I kind of wish I'd kept the MidSota 22ft trailer that I sold at a profit. It was a really well made bumper pull and now I'm down to only one equipment trailer which is a 30ft gooseneck which is great for hauling big, long stuff, but a compact bumper pull is just so useful.

Talking of couplers, my log splitter and concrete mixer are 1-7/8", the Coyote boat trailer, CargoPro 10ft aluminum trailer and PJ 10ft dump trailer are 2", and the PJ 16ft dump trailer and Kaufman 30ft gooseneck trailer are 2-5/16". I have four B&W hitches to deal with all of this. šŸ˜‚

I didn’t know how to spell the trailer manufacturer’s name so I cut and pasted it and when I did it changed the font of the stuff I typed 1st. :geek:
Did you know how to pronounce the name of the trailer manufacturer? šŸ˜‚ I was reading their "About" section ....

"We're from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which was home to the Pequea Native Americans centuries ago. The names lives on here, and today we live and work in the Pequea Valley. Wondering how to pronounce our name? It's easy. Just say, "Peck-Way." "

I was amazed to recently read that on some of the heavy-duty Ford Superduty trucks the gooseneck coupler ball will be 3" - as will the bumper pull ball! And of course the bumper pull receiver opening is 3" square. All to accommodate the 40,000 lb those trucks are rated to pull.

So maybe you'll be adding a 3" to your collection!

I hadn't heard about 3" balls being a thing, but I don't have any trailers with a 3" coupler so unlikely that I'll be needing bigger balls any time soon. šŸ˜‚

The receiver on the F-450 is a 3" square and I've probably pulled the heaviest load I'll ever pull i.e. 25,000 lb of M-1078 and trailer. A KX057-4 or -5 isn't close to the weight of the M-1078 which was 17,000 lb, but the M6060 with the RC3712 is close to 15,000 lb so that's about as heavy as I'll be hauling on a regular basis.

replace the couplers on the splitter and mixer to 2" and make life simpler. BTDT

I knew how to say it I just didn’t remember how to spell it, they are popular trailers in my area I've owned several of them over the years.

They should have told you how Lancaster is pronounced out there, too!

Not Lan-caster but Lank-Esther (no pun intended) šŸ˜‰
