I picked up the Vevor 5000 lbs trailer dolly and it's honestly been pretty great. I was able to get the TM out of the garage and back it up into my driveway without issue, and it was FAR easier than using the harbor freight one I had before.

I've only had it for a few weeks now, but so far it's been great. It's not water proof so I just take it off when I'm not going to be using it. It's also really only made for paved surfaces, so I don't think it would work well on rocks or grass. Also, the bracket that holds the unit to the trailer seemed to not be bent correctly on mine, which made it really difficult to initially connect the unit. If I had a vice I would have just bent it in that, but I don't have one at the moment.

I think for the price (it was $210 when I got it, I think it's like $255 now) it's pretty good and certainly capable of moving my 2720. I do keep it down as low as possible so that the connection to the trailer is as close as possible to the powered wheel. That way there should be less swaying from the motor kicking in.
I've had one of those [Vevor powered dollies] for years. At first, I didn't like how wobbly it was so I made a modification. It makes it very sturdy. It uses a 1 7/8" muffler clamp. A 1 3/4" will not work. It will still be wobbly.

This picture is it mounted on my 20', 5,000# cargo trailer. It moves the trailer with ease.
