Yes that is the same trailer I have, but I tore mine totally apart this summer, welded everything together (it don't fold up any more). That was all after I put on an 1800lb axle, 1000lb each springs and 12'' 990lb each load range C tires back in 2009.

It appears that one of the hubs had locked up or burned up before I bought the trailer, that was part of the reason for replacing the axle since the spindles are welded to it.
My guess is the guy I bought it from ran the bearings with that "minimal amount" of factory grease and smoked one of the bearings.
I use lots of valvoline synthetic blend grease to pack the bearings.
