I don't doubt that the bronco will put it if it can get traction. The tricky part with any big load is stopping it.
Put weights on the front of the tractor, or better yet, put weight in the back of the mobile home... you could put anything in it just to help balance it a bit.
If you wanted you could use a tow strap on the front of your tractor, and attached to your bronco, to help keep the front of it down. Just use the stretchyness of the tow strap to keep pressure on the tractor and to keep the front from lifting.
I'd go about it one of those 2 ways, or maybe a combination of both! :xyxthumbs:

Like said earlier, pull it across the yard, yes.
Pull it down the highway, no way would I try.
Seeing as you are only pulling it 200 feet, I would do it.
But also like stated, pics please.:toothy12:
As far as $300 to have a professional move it, I don't think that is too far out of line. He has to drive a rig to your location, take the time to hook it properly, allow time for the unexpected, take responsibility for damages if they are his fault, pay insurance, drive the rig back and make enough money to pay for that rig and still feed his family. Depending on where he is located vs you, he could easily have $50 in fuel cost alone not counting other expenses and could easily spend a good portion of the day out there. Sure, $300 is a lot of money but by the time you figure in all the expenses, he might walk with $150-$200.
