Good Idea. Looks like a lighter trailer, but trailers wear funny just because nothing is precisely perfect. Weight distribution is a factor too. Around here it is almost a must due to the salt water and fine sand.. marine or boat trailers are even worse. I can still remember the smell of the grease (not to mention the mess) and worse yet I can't ever remember wearing any gloves as a kid packing bearings. I'm not sure they even existed when we were kids? God only knows what we absorbed into our skin as kids.

I still don't wear gloves. They just rip or get in the way and end up being more trouble than they are worth. I think our trailer is about 6000 pounds unloaded. Something like that. Actually, it might be closer to 6800 now that I think of it.
