That would work, but it is a pain to store.  I used to have it mounted to 
a pallet, but that got to be a pain and that is why I made this mount.

What about attaching it to a panel big enough to stand on?  Panel needs to 
be strong, and need not be attached to the floor or anything else. 
 Remember the forces you put on the machine while operating it are all on 
your feet through your body.
There would be no lateral forces between the panel and the floor.  I'm 
thinking maybe a couple of pieces of 3/4" plywood sandwiching some 2x4s. 
Through-bolt the machine to the top plywood with huge washers or a 
substantial backing plate, then build the rest of the panel.
