Best electric tongue jack?

[Herd_Fan]

Time to replace the old power jack....what's the preferred brand nowadays? I currently have a 3500, but from what I've read, the bigger the better, so I'm open to getting a 4500. Thanks for the help!

FYI, My trailer should never be above 7000 lbs loaded, so using the 15% rule, that would be 1050.

I've had an Atwood for about 4 years. Don't know how it compares to other brands but it's still working. Seems to do OK.

I've seen this before and I wonder why. I lower the coupler onto the ball until I can latch it. Then hook the chains up with the little cheater bar that came with the hitch. Then lower the tongue and raise the jack.

After going thru 2 jacks in 4 years got a Husky from PPL and so far I am impressed but time will tell. It sure looks like it is better made than the ones CW sells.
Got it on sale last winter for just a bit over 200 bucks with no shipping charges.
