I have the same situation on my two trailers. Both have the same 5200 lb dexters but one requires full power and the other half power from the prodigy.
That's why these things are adjustable.
The reason, well, probably some grease on the brakes or out of adjustment or rust on the drums.
I understand your point, but my own brake controller adjustment wheel is very close to the zero... about 10%, way less than the half. That's just surprising at first, to start from 100% gain on the pop-ups to near 0% gain on the TT (I know 0% is probably technically impossible).
Concerning rust a guy who work in trailer shop told me rust actually increase the braking force of drum brakes, it act like an anti-slip surface on drums! But soon the rust disappear after a few stops...
