Transporting roller mower

[woodwoozles]

Apparently prolonged Wheeling of roller mowers on a hard surface Recks the gearbox. I wondered if anyone has made some sort of dolly or sled for the roller to sit on, temporarily until you reach the lawn. Maybe a wooden box with some Castor's or wheels on. Then it can be pushed up and down drives pavements etc

How far are you likely to be going over hard surfaces?
I wouldn’t be worrying about it personally.
I’ve never had one go in ten years commercial work. Then again I only keep mowers for 3 seasons at the most

I wouldn't worry about short distance on hard standing, it is engaging the drive while turning at ends that wrecks the drive, really get annoyed when I see people spin it round with one hand and start the roller spinning halfway through the turn, let the ratchet work and drive in straight lines only ?

Dunno who told you that, but I wouldn't worry about it either.  The sound of a metal roller on concrete is horrific though, I'd be more worried about that tbh.
