My teardrop is really light, but I can do it with 3 people (more like 2+ a bit). I don't have a jockey wheel up front, but I do have feet on all 4 corners. So I leave the front feet down but not extended. Back feet up. To go down hill hitch first two people hanging onto the tongue end and one behind steering/watching for snags.
To go up hill tongue first we reverse the process a bit. One person holding up the tongue and providing most the motive force. Two people in the back pushing and each watching their side for snags.
Of the people in question *all women) only one is probably as strong as an average man, one has serious lifting restrictions but mostly is there to provide spotting and a wee bit of push force.
If things get out of control we just set it down, since there is no jockey wheel drag stops us quite quickly.
Thanks, this is helpful. Of course I understand it's important to be safe, but I have worked with one other person to maneuver the td out of various places with slope, so appreciate that you have had success with 3. I do have some feet for the back but didn't think of leaving them on while moving. They would do a good job of grabbing the ground if need be.
