Okay, so back at the start of The COVIDocalypse, I spent some Trump Bucks on a used Jugs pitching machine, the vertical 2-wheel style.
We're using it about every other day now, and getting our money's worth. I've got two different locations for it, one being where I just swivel it out of the garage and we do fly ball drills, and another for BP.
The problem is that to get it to the BP spot, I have to lower it down to the wheels, trek across the yard, and lever it back up. Not only is this work, but it appears to be affecting the machine, as either board or one motor is now having trouble starting after it's been moved by the wheels. Once I leave it one place for a while, it seems to smooth out.
Ideally, what i want to do is put is on casters that can handle wheeling across a lawn. I thought surely someone else would've solved this problem already, but not that I can find.
The machine has steel pipe legs, so conceptually, I think I'm looking for a cross between this:

and this:

But with the inserted portions at least an inch in diameter.
I suppose another option would be to get some sort of rubber insert to allow for a smaller diameter.
Anyway, looking thoughts, ideas, or suggested products.
