It's just an old round ram. You could move it on a Radio Flyer behind a bicycle.

I thought a hearse was supposed to be black.
A real move would have the head inverted.

Have mill, will travel. Paladin.
I noticed the wooden trailer right off. Maybe he was only going down the street a little ways?!?
Sure would be scary across the state.

Looks good to me ,a bit of ingenuity ,I bet they used the wooden skid to get the machine from where it lay and then put the wheels on ,It all looks good and strong so carry on ,nothing to see here.

But at least the trailer has lights and safety chains.
Too funny.

Well, everyone always recommends securing machines to a well-built pallet. That looks like a well-built pallet to me!

It may be an unorthodox material in today's modern world of transportation but why should a trailer chassis not be made from timber? It's been strong enough over the centuries for crossing mountains, gorges and oceans.
Shame the same cannot be said for the vanity-chain tie-downs.

What's all the wood for? Could've skipped all that and just put some HomeDepot grade casters through them holes in the base and tied it to the bumper...

When I dropped my round ram Bridgeport in my garage at home, I planned everything out from the trailer, skates, blocks, etc. But MISSED
that my driveway is on an incline steep enough to keep us from pushing it off the trailer, and there's no place inside to anchor it to pull it in.
So we unloaded it in the street (where the trailer was level) onto the skates, and proceeded to push it up the driveway with the trucks bumper and some blocks. It worked without.... er, with a hitch
, but next time I'm renting a forklift.
