I lost the oil in one of the hubs on my 2007 Ranger single axle. Didn't realize it until someone pulled up beside me and said my trailer wheel was on fire. Switched to grease and have never looked back.

Either grease or the Vortex hubs:

I concur with Jim and Mark! Go with grease. Just get bearing Buddies and keep a grease gun in your tow vehicle to pump a little grease before you launch.

Thanks , I think those vortex hubs look good I like being able to flush grease thru.
