Do you mean the M989 or the M989A1? I have the A1 and it is indeed VERY heavy, but then again it was designed to be towed by a HEMTT. Empty the trailer is technically too heavy for a Deuce, loaded it would be unmanageable for one. I'm not sure of the suspension on the M989 but the A1 should have air as you will have the suspension sitting on the lower stops. I've moved mine with the brakes caged but if you supply it air, it will hold it and you can release the brakes with a knowb under the side of the trailer, until the air leaks out and then you will stop.
