Moving a safe...

4 2x6 10 foot long boards fastened to the sides of the safe at 6" below hands at waist high. Bound on with tie down straps that sandwich the boards to the sides of the safe. Moving blanket over the safe to protect the paint. One strong person on the end of each board, or two frail teens on each handle and up she goes.
Each person will be lifting 60 pounds in a 8 man team, 30 pounds in a 16 man team. That should easily walk out of a landscaped area without doing any damage. Cant take a tow truck into someone's yard. Tow trucks do come in handy, I use them to move my (4300 pounds each) gorillas.

The dolly, with the small wheels, will bury up in the soil without a firm surface to roll on.

Those dolly's at TSC are good for 600 lbs. I have one, and put over 600 lbs on them, no probs.
Or you can invite a whole lot of people over from the boards, and after we move your safe, we can go to a range and get some trigger time.
Gary:
Convince anyone helping move the safe you conduct bio hazard tests in your home for some research project, and need the safe to keep spores in. That way rumors of your valuables dont start circulating the neighborhood.
After it is all moved, tell them you need to move the safe again in 30 days to ship it to a federal waste management facility and ask them if they want to help again?
Tell them to bring disposable gloves and a resperator. Lol
