You can probably move it around with your Blazer in 4x4 LOW. However, I would not want to try and drag it up a typical loading ramp, or even any moderate grades. I doubt an S-10 Blazer is heavy enough, nor the engine powerful enough to handle the loading ramp. A good 3/4 or 1-ton pickup would give a much stronger effort, but even they will work hard doing it....
