A method for slowing transfer of a heavy work machine on a sloping base using a transportation device equipped with wheels, the work machine including a body, a crawler chassis fitted beneath the body, a set of booms having at least one operating cylinder, a first end and a second end, said set of booms being pivoted at the first end to the work machine and a selected auxiliary device is pivoted at the second end, and a brake surface connected to the auxiliary device, in which method includes the steps of transferring the work machine by supporting the work machine on the crawler chassis at least partly on top of the transportation device, towing the work machine using a transfer vehicle with the aid of the transportation device, using said operating cylinder of the set of booms to press the brake surface against the sloping base to create friction to slow transfer speed of the transportation device on the sloping base, and adjusting pressing of the brake surface taking place through the auxiliary device using the operating cylinder or one set of booms. An arrangement in connection with a heavy work machine for transferring the work machine on a sloping base is also described.
