Cab dolly wheels for rolling over grass

Anyone build a cab dolly for outside, over grass, use? What wheels are you using? How are they working?

Sometimes soon, I will be moving my crew cab around the yard.

haywagon
2 wide snowmobile trailer

full size trailer

lots of fence posts and rolling
some kind of ski/low friction "kite" to pull it on
Propping it up in a single spot in a way that you can mow up to it and weed wack around it easily. Weed killer.

Copy on the snowmobile trailer.

I am thinking of a traditional cab dolly with four wheels.

Im not actually sure what you mean by that, the closest thing ive seen is a hay wagon because of the large flat area and the 4 wheels and a tongue to pull it. Many are made from model T frames

Well, a normal cab dolly is used in shops to wheel around cabs on cement floors. They have four wheels/casters and a frame.

Like in Post #3, for instance:

I am just asking what people are using for wheel...if they also use them outside in the grass.

I would definitely look at using either tires like that and a prepared path like with boards or shingles to keep it afloat because I feel the weight of cab plus 4 small points and rain equals sink

So far, so good.

My GF and I can push the cab easily in our yard.

$9 HFT wheels. Their 10" pneumatic jobs.
