If the drive is asphalt or concrete, you can add rollers to the rear of the trailer so it doesn't drag.

If the drive is steep and very long wouldn't that put a lot of weight on the rollers? I've never seen them so just curious.

Yeah, but they are attached to the frame, and very stout. I've put them on the back end of a 23,000 pound motor home.

Thanks. That does sound like a viable option.

My Drive is pink Cobblestone, and the drive is an incline but not a terribly steep one. But the road itself is higher in the middle and slightly sloped to the sides, wish it were flat.
I did consider rollers, but not sure if they will work. Anyway I have to try once we pick it up and hopefully it will get in the yard ok. If not then we scramble to find a place to put it.

alot of us will be curious what the final outcome is. looking forward to your post. Best advise I can give for this and your other thread, Take your time and don't worry about those that may honk and yell. I live on a busy street and every time I start to back my trailer in, some rude driver expresses his disdain that I have slowed his rushed life for more than 2 minutes.
I have at that time gotten out of my truck and surveyed the situation and told him/her that there are other streets available for his passage.

Not knowing what the landscape looks like or where your trailer will ultimately end up on your property it's hard to offer specific advice but something to remember; if the drive is at an incline and you're worried about either the front of back dragging, many times you can reduce the effect of the incline by going across it at an angle instead of hitting it straight on. If you're trying to get the trailer in the yard vs sitting in the drive back it in at an angle thru the drive opening to try to get it where you want. Just thinking...
