If you go for the mechanical assistance, just make sure to go as slowly as possible.

    Its already sitting on a rug.... not sure if that will help or hinder being able to pull it about 10 ft. My plan was going to be to put a 2x4 behind the pallet, and then use a tow strap, around the 2x4 and through under the pallet, and my tractor to slowly pull it


    like so (top down view)
