Question:
Thanks. Ali do Ag hubs spin as easily as regular trailer hubs? Do they have more drag?

Expert Reply:
You are not going to see much difference in the drag or how easily an agricultural hub spins compared to a standard hub. I will say since agricultural hubs are designed for low speed machinery they are not rated for high speeds like standard hubs are. The amount of drag really comes into play when you are referring to hubs and drums with brakes. Since you are using an idler hub like part # AH60880FCOMP for your application then you won't really see a difference in the spin.
