Long-Term Performance Review and Technical Deep Dive

Did I buy the wrong Trailer?
What happens here
Stanley provides an update after using the Diamond C HDT trailer for a month, expressing strong satisfaction with its performance. He notes that the trailer handles heavy loads, such as a 10,000-pound mini-excavator, exceptionally well, riding 'smooth as butter'. The discussion transitions to the different types of axle hubs: greasable versus oil bath. Jacob explains that smaller axles (up to 7,000 lbs) are typically greasable, while larger axles (8,000 lbs and above) use oil bath lubrication for better heat dissipation. He also explains the 'burnishing' process required for new drum brakes to achieve full effectiveness, a step often overlooked by users, which can initially lead to reduced braking performance.
Goal: Gain practical insights into long-term trailer performance, axle lubrication, and brake break-in procedures.
