Use 360 locking braked castors on all four legs
Similar to these from RS but locable to stop them rotating as well as rolling ...you'll find them much cheaper in plated steel on line .IIRC I paid £9 each for my 100 mm hard nylon ones with a simple double sleeve bearing about 10 years ago when I put everything heavy in the mancupboard and later on the heavy stuff at our " Men's Shed " on braked lockable castors to make life much easier for all concerned .

We are starting again, next boat project, among other things. Got initial delivery of alli for the next pontoon / hire drive vessel. This time around the whole thing including the superstructure.
This is about half of the extrusions required, next is the plate.
This had to be dragged into the workshop with the forklift.
The new (first time usage of the approved lifting device), absolutely worked a treat.
It will lift and rotate the plate penumaticaly

I’ve turned this Husqvarna 254
Into this and box of bits!
Carb needs a clean and rebuild. Sadly the piston is junk, cylinder is marked but I can’t feel them with my fingers. Replacing both. Hoped to keep as much of it original as I could.

I'm running about 45lt/h when actually ploughing, use about 400 lt in a decent day, other 2 machines are slightly less as doing less work.

past few weeks made hand controls to be able to drive the grinnal
i made an adjustable throttle interlinked with the clutch lever that ups the revs on idle by 500 rpm as the clutch starts to bite ,pulling in the clutch revs drop to idle good for low speed manouvers a push lever for brakes and a paddle on lhs for gas makes pulling out a junction without stalling a doddle
gearchange up only needs a tap when throttle is eased off but next idea is solenoid worked by two buttons on the steering wheel ,steerin wheel trim machined out so horn button can be taken out easily to unbolt the wheel for easy acess its held on by a hex taper so it removes easily , getting in is taken care of by a an overhead patient lift with a rail sort of parachute myself in ,plans for the future are a davit type lift so i can take my wheelchair with me and get in and out

Which hardware is that Andy? I’ve got a few shelly smart relays I keep meaning to have a play around with…I’ve briefly tried one but only as far as powering it up and making sure it worked from the app.Just made the workshop extractor work from my phone.
It's a H&S thing as I no longer have stumble over carp on the workshop floor to get to the switch

I'm using the Denkovi IP relays https://denkovi.com/smartden-modules?CurrencyID=5
I've used them for a few years for various heating projects.
In this case I have the IP relay operating another relay that turns the extractor off and on. The same device has 8 relays, 5 of them are in the pic and turn on the heating in the barn or another outbuilding we call the goat house has it used to house goats
