    I got my self in the habit of always checking tanks a long time ago, whether at work or home I can't walk by an oxygen or gas tank without checking it, call it o.c.d. but I never have a tank left on lol

    How big? I just use my harbor freight welding table and it works well and easy to carry in and out. Could even get 2 or 3 and bolt then together if wanted

    For something that's going to go out on the lawn, bigger is better for easier rolling. HF has 8" and 10" pnuematic casters, both rigid and swivel for cheap.

    Motorize it. :drevil:

    The longer you can make the ramp the easier it will be because it's shallower.

    As long as you keep the table as light as possible it might not be to bad .

    It depends how firm the yard is stuff just wants to sink speaking from experience

    Not on a welding table, but I built a cart that I am using for axle tear downs. I went with these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DD1D2 and I am able to move it around well in dirt/gravel.

    Do you have a large enough yard for a riding mower ??

    Use that to move your table where you need to go.

    worse case winch for the truck

    I getting tired of aching from pushing and dragging things around

    Build a hitch for the front so push your table instead of pull.

    I got this Trail gear diff guard welded up. My welder started acting up right in the middle of the bead. I don't know what happened but it started welding nice after the malfunction. 100% co2

    Maybe had some tarnished wire? Got into some clean wire and things worked out?

    No, I left the old break in diff oil in there, welded, then filled with new fluid.
