Bearing Buddy?
I have a 2011 KZ Sportsmen Classic 16BH and those entry level TT (even the new 2015 models) doesn't come with EZ-LUBE axle or similar axle... I want to add Bearing Buddies grease system on the axle...

Bearing Buddies will work just fine on your TT. Same basic principle as the EZ Lube hubs with the added advantage of the spring loaded piston to keep a positive pressure on the bearing grease. I had them on my boat trailers and now have them on my landscape, cargo, and TT.
The only problem, without special spindles, Bearing Buddies will NOT lube the rear bearings.
They are two specific products designed for two different uses and are not interchangeable.
Bearing Buddies are for boat trailers. EZ lube for TTs. Both fine products FOR THEIR INTENDED USE.
Bearing buddies can be used on a TT, but there is zero benefit. You would need to pull the drums and put a special double lip seal in to keep the pressurized grease from leaking onto the brakes.
Pressurizing the grease cavity is what Bearing buddies are designed for. So that when the BOAT trailer is dunked into the cold lake that the hot bearings don't create a vacuum and suck water into the bearings.
