If you are working on your own, then ramps are a necessity if you don't want to damage your back or other body parts.
I use telescoping ramps, 3' - 6', aluminum, so they are very light.
I store them against the wall in the van.
What I like about the Big Wheels are the way they help me maneuver the 'Mex;
They are so much easier to take the machine up stairs, but that's not all.
I am forever running over my electrical cable, especially if walking backwards.
With the small original wheels, these would usually jam when they hit the cable, the Big Wheels roll straight on over.
IF you ever have to go across soft ground, pebbles, etc; you will bog down with the original wheels, the Big Wheels roll over it like a 4wd compared to a car.
As you work with them you realise just how essential they really are.
I also believe that Big Wheels make the 'Mex; easier to move around without adding any extra weight, dimensions, etc;
They have allowed me to clean more carpet in a day which equals more dollars in my pocket.
(TAKE NOTE RICHARD).
What the Big Wheels cost me are a lot less than medical bills.
