Can the wheel be left off? I tend to edge deep and I think that wheel would be in the way.

Not sure how to remove the wheel, but I found that I get a pretty deep edge even w/it on. The wheel is a great guide to getting a nicer, straight edge.

The wheel assembly can be removed. It is factory-mounted on the trimmer with 2 Phillips side screws + 2 top screws.

For the wheel you can put a small block or somthing under it. My wheel has a block under it and it has never fell off. My look out is on the top of my cage so I do not have a problem with it.

the downside to doing that is you're going to have to have a very long stretch of cement to run along. By taking the wheel off you can crank a lot "further" than walking would do. Also, you can add the compound to the blades more readily since its on its side and opened up.

You can leave the wheels off. But if you slide, you may scratch the floor surface.

That is a safety feature. Do not remove it. Just lift it up when you want to shift into reverse. Gravity keeps it down to block accidental reversing which could run you over.

we have a smaller wheel inside the cage. We have not tried it, but I do not think so.

No, but you can take the wheel off and reverse it for even wear if you desire.

You can shorten the string as much as you want, but you would have to get the wheels through your aisle. I am not close to my machine to measure, but is there information about the wheel width in the specs somewhere? That is the answer to your question, it seems to me. Good luck. elw

It's not ideal, however; there is a small section of shaft showing, maybe .25 of an inch or smaller, and the rest tapers up into the wheel. You could get a belt on it, but i'm not sure how well it would work. Also it's pressed into the bearing so it doesn't unbolt from underneath, and being casted aluminum it would probably fall apart trying to remove or separate it.

Can you lock the wheels, or maybe put a cloth behind the wheels, so that they don't otherwise move?

getting in the way will depend on how you're using it and what you're trying to do. as far as i could tell, it won't come off easily. i'm sure if you worked at it enough you probably could remove it. this may not be much of an answer but the unknowns are an individual situation.

The wheels could be taken off since you have to put them on when you assemble the cart. However, this really isn't necessary since the wheels lock. I have been using my cart for years now and it has never moved (wheels are locked) and still looks like the day I got it. It is a very sturdy cart, lots of great storage!

It isn't designed to come off but I guess you could cut it off. I haven't had a problem with mine at all.

I just installed mine and don't intend to take it off until it needs to be replaced. I imagine though that there would be marks left on the wheel. My wheel is just plastic without any sort of special finish. I would assume I could sand off any rough spots that would likely be a result from the easy rider. The tighter the easy rider is installed the less it will move and the less likely you'll have in cutting groves into your wheel.

I take the east way out...I take off the wheels and store stuff in the trailer while traveling, because don't need it while traveling, after we unpack and empty it out, I will use it. Sorry not much help!

I've used mine that way.....tread is not level, but not at too great an angle. I can't say I recall it bothering me at all.

The front wheels would be off the counter. I tried this with mine and it tips forward. Sooner or later it there will be a catastrophe. I would not recommend using it under those conditions. Hope that helps
