Hi all, change of plan. The units I was looking at were backordered. There
was a guy about an hour away who had 4 HF skates, the kind that ratchet
https://www.harborfreight.com/1250-lb-Capacity-Vehicle-Positioning-Wheel-Dolly-62234.html

I had read some questionable reviews, and some great ones as well. The
biggest tip was to grease all the bearings before using, which this guy
did. These things are awesome, way more heavy duty than I expected. I can
easily push the bus around by hand. In fact, I released one of the skates
in case I inadvertently leaned on the vehicle. That's how easy it is to
move.

Expensive new (but often go on sale). I was lucky enough to get them for
$200.
