Having moved one from Arkansas to Iowa, I can tell you that it isn't a
task to be taken on lightly. Particularly without a lift-deck.

I'm guessing the unit weighs around 900lbs, is approximately 7' long, 3'
deep and 4' high.
The machine is on good quality casters, so it'll roll like a dream, but
it's extreme weight makes it a royal pain in the butt to move.

If you'd like a chuckle, you can view my attempts to move it using a Ford
F150, a winch and a pair of lawnmower ramps:
