Over the years I've had to move machines by myself. Usually when buying long
from home. Already mentioned, the divide (take apart) and conquer method is best.Two
other tricks I use are; use a skateboard to move the head and cabinet. They take up
less space than a hand truck and easy to manouver once you get the hang of it.
Of course not useful for stairs. For loading into an SUV or truck I keep a 3/4"
pipe handy wider than the cabinet. Makes loading easy. Probably common knowledge for most folks.

A long time ago I bought a truck with a liftgate. Money well spent.
But there have been times when I don't have the truck or a dolly
handy.

In those cases I've found two items very helpful. A wood stool
a couple inches higher than the distance between the floor and rear. bottom
of the cabinet. Put the rear of the cabinet on the stool, remove rear
legs (and backbox if possible, or lay it down and strap it), then
remove stool and set back of machine down. Lift front of machine
up and remove front legs. Then the next tool comes into play:
a large skateboard. Get back of machine on skateboard to
position it next to tailgate of truck/suv and set it in. Works
good on hard surfaces but not lawns or dirt.

Easy-peasy.
