I have a Rockwell vertical (knee) milling machine that I need to move
to a shop that doesn't have a driveway and is at the top of a small
incline (grass lawn).

Chuck Sherwood is a fairly regular reader here and has one of those mills in
the h/v version. I helped him move it to his basement but don't remember

We removed the head, table, knee and column, and base. It wasn't hard
work but it was a lot of work and took most of a day. I really don't
think he needs to disassemble that far to move the machine over a lawn.
I think removing the head and putting the rest of the machine on a
dolly should be enough. Put plywood on the lawn so that the wheels
won't sink in and will roll. I have heard that a toe truck works
well for moving machines too. If the ground is hard it won't sink in.
