Where is it at? If you're not going buy it then I'm heading down to Texas.....
Good advice. Also block up the spindle and back off the lead screw pressure before moving it, to keep the lead screw from being damaged. It is often a simple matter to lift the table off the machine and transport it separately. The table is often not secured to the base at all, just gravity holding it there. If you don't do these things, the machine can be ruined as doubleeboy says. The table might also be somewhere along the side of the road you drove to bring it home. Understand how it works, ponder what can go wrong with it, and make appropriate plans to get it home in one piece, undamaged.If you get that machine be aware that it is most likely a roller way machine. You can ruin those very spendy bearings by moving machine if you do not block table up with plastic spacers first. Its easy to do, but most folks don't know or care to do so. In good shape that machine is worth many thousands of dollars, don't screw it up with a poor moving plan.
That looks like about a 12 x 36 grinder, so yeah, I could see 5000 lbs there. My 6 x 18 DoAll is pushing about 3500.
