Etrailer.com would probably be where I’d start

Are you looking to install yourself? If not, I would call a horse trailer place & see what they offer with installation. Don't go cheap on them - be sure you get ones that are heavy enough for your trailer. I made that mistake once - they would last about a year & burn up ... thankfully every time just before the warranty ran out, LOL! They were supposed to be good ones but they were just NOT heavy enough for that trailer.

Go with Hydraulic over an electric one...very much worth it!

 That is what I'm wanting for one of our trailers.  Do you know where the best place to order one of those is?  I could get one at the RV Center and let them put it on but I would rather save some money and let my boys do it.  Is'nt that what adult kids are for? LOL

My trailer is going in the shop for repairs. Told them to put on electric jack. Guy said to go with hydraulic. Electric had a lot of problems. They are going to install hydraulic. $1400 installed.

I agree with hydraulic rather than electric and I agree with have it professionally installed...that way you should have some type of warranty. I say this because I have a friend on her 3rd jack on a brand new trailer. Luckily she has an extra vehicle to drive because at times she couldn’t get it unhooked- as soon as the jack started to take weight it would stop.

You want an electric powered hydraulic. The total electric are far better than they used to be but they are still not as good as hydraulic.

I am not sure, because my grandpa ordered the one on the trailer I still pull years ago and installed it. I just know that the hydraulic is so much better and faster than the electric one on my bfs trailer. I would call around to large trailer dealer and also just google search. Someone else mentioned etrailer.com and they usually have pretty good prices. I know that's where our local trailer dealer orders a lot from.
