My safe weighs in around ~1300lbs with the interior stripped out. I've moved it twice. Here are a few tips. A heavy duty appliance dolly (not the one at Harbor Freight) can actually do the job if you have two strong guys behind it. As for your grass, that's a little tougher. How about a long strip of scrap carpet? Put it down on the grass and just let the safe slide down on it's back. Obviously you'd have to speed up or slow the decent at times so make sure it's tied up to something with a pulley or two at the top of the hill to give you leverage. When I was by myself I used a bunch of 4ft lengths of PVC pipe. I just layed them on the ground and tipped the safe onto them - then just rolled the safe across the pvc pipes (moving the "used" pipes to the front of the line as I went etc...) A tip for tilting a big safe by yourself is just open the door all the way LOL. Or just use a whole lot of helium balloons.
