Fast tongue jack

Any recommendation on a fast tongue jack for a 7500lb TT.

We just bought a new TT and the electric jack is extremely slow.

Thank you

    And It tends to fold up on uneven ground.

    Then it's broken. It has a 1/2" dia, spring loaded steel pin that must be pulled for it to move from either position. Drop the tongue hard enough (like my dealer did) and it will break. Otherwise it will never move on its own.
  • May want to check the wiring of the jack to the battery.
    A few years ago I installed a power jack and didn’t pay close enough attention when making the electrical connection (2x6 volt batteries) which resulted in having only 6 volts feeding the jack. It worked but was extremely slow, like taking about 5-6 minutes to fully extend. A simple rewire to provide a full 12 volts fixed the problem
