To put that into perspective, this is about the same as trying to push a 1/2 ton pickup truck by hand.
A little off topic but thats actually really easy for 1 person. Focus on rolling the tire not pushing the truck! a friend that used to work on semi's showed me that trick. makes rolling projects around the driveway easier!
Try that trick on dirt, grass or on a hill and see how well that "trick" works.
I have a 120 yr old antique car that weighs right around 2,000 lbs, rolling the wheel (and these are large diameter wheels, think on the order of a wagon wheel) and I can easily move it around on my flat, level cement garage floor.. Doesn't work as well on dirt and grass.
Anything unlevel, well lets say I am not dumb enough to try since that 2,000 lb car can do a lot of damage to a human body when it rolls right over you.
I have a healthy respect for anything that is on wheels, weighs more than myself and don't have a deathwish.
A 5,000+ lb trailer with no wheel chocks, no brakes and tongue off the ground or on a wheel dolly NEEDS the same or higher healthy respect..
