Tom, It's way nicer operating sitting up high. I have some cheap wheels I put on the bottom that can raise the whole platform up and be able to push around. I haven't tried them yet because I need to machine out some plates that lock the 4 wheels up. Maybe I should motorize it and make it walk. I was running it in my shop this weekend from about 25ft away. Didn't have a great view while swinging left to dump but it was fun to operate.
