The hydraulic surge brake system is still used on trailers today and works well if it is operating properly. It woks well on my 1986 Palomino hard-side.
There should be a breakaway cable that can be pulled that will activate the master cylinder. Jack up each side and spin the wheels. if all is working well, the wheels should be locked up.
If you are going to tow it a short distance and then not move it again, use a full-sized pick-up truck and that should be sufficient if the trailers surge brakes aren't working.
