You're right about the fricton being in the bearing, not the hub. I know we have trouble with some electric motors when they get too much grease in the bearings, the heat can't get away and the bearing actually runs hotter with too much grease. Sounds crazy, but that's what happens. I think that for tractor applications, the hubs don't turn fast enough for that to happen.

For tractor hubs, I don't think it matters which way you do it.
