What do you move your trailer with?

As I watched the farm owner move our trailer into the shed with his John Deere 720 tractor, it got me thinking - for those of you that have your own land and/or storage space, what do you move your trailer around with when not using your tow vehicle? Would a person need a tractor or would a lawn/garden tractor handle short distances?

I use my truck mostly, but sometimes I use my Polaris Ranger 500 UTV with a 6" rise hitch ball. It has a whooping 32 HP and works well most of the time. Typically I don't need to move the trailer except when coming or going from the campsites, so I don't often move it around my property.

I have no reason to move it unless it's on the back of the truck

I've moved the camper with the Ford 1710 ( compact tractor 24 hp, 4WD ), but usually if I am moving the trailer, it is to go camping, or coming back from camping, so I just use the truck.

I want to try moving my 19' TT with an 4x4 ATV (and keeping the jack/caster wheel on the ground), but never tried it.
