I've got a table that will come across the 400# mark and was at the scrappers where they got a few hq 6" urethane threaded casters for cheap....seems like airport dolly pulls. I'm not the biggest fan of air tires but am wondering if rigid casters can cope w/grass ok (3" wide track)? Old school dollies and carts were basically using cast iron wagon wheel type casters but wonder if diameter's too small for the weight.

Anyone w/6" rigid casters on their toolbox/tables/power tools care to chime in? Fairly flat terrain, not pulling this over a hill or anything.

Got a heavy duty cart at a paper mill auction real cheap that hoped could roll out back of my pole barn from concrete to short excursions on grass. Has big 10 inch casters but weighs about 700 lbs. Doesn't roll so great off the concrete but super easy inside as good quality Albion casters. With scaled down ratio of 6 inch casters and 400 lbs would expect similar iffy results unless super baked hard clay. My lawn is clay underneath actually.
