But there are still a couple of problems. One is that the Scopebuggy isn't made so sturdy enough. That is because I've only got 1/4-20 bolts for lowering feet and they become unsturdy past enough to get the wheels up a little bit. And I of course need to get them totally off the ground.

My mom said she would accept that on her property and he only agreed to a concrete pad.

If you can get agreement for a concrete pad, that would be a good start. Pick the best location taking regard for buildings, trees and lights. If the neighbours have outside lights, (eg motion/heat detect security lights), consider them too.
On the grass works, but only if the mount points are through the grass and in firm contact with the soil. If you can cut out some squares in the grass where the mount points would go, and put a paving blocks in them to be level with the grass that would be more solid.
As for the bolts, 1/4" should work, as long as you make the distance they stick out as short as possible. Put bricks/pavers/timber under the bolts to shorted the unsupported length.

PPS: do they make clamp on levelers that can be added to the Scopebuggy?

No idea, but you could probably find some clamps and heavier bolts at the local hardware which you could attach.
