2 possible options ?
1. I welded a metal support and trailer ball onto a snow blower that I used to move a TT. The support transferred some trailer tongue weight to the blowers wheels for traction. It slipped on gravel but got the job done on a level driveway. I used a second person to block the tires as needed. Snow blowers lack brakes. Use the TT emergency break-a-way if needed. It was not a problem on a level driveway. The trailer never ran away.
2. Building a structure involving permits and addition insurance vs a used small diesel tractor.
We used one at a seasonal campground to move all size TT's, it worked well because the extra weight of the diesel engine help balance the tongue weight.
* Rider lawn movers and ATV's usually are not a good choice for a TT that big . They are too light allowing the front tires to lift off the ground when the trailer tongue weight is applied.
