Trailer Jack for Log Splitter that is Easier to Roll Around

Question

Question:

I purchased a Champion 34 ton log splitter from Home Depot. It did not come with a wheeled trailer jack. I need one to raise the splitter since it is too heavy for me to lift the tongue close to 600 pounds. What do you recommend as a wheeled trailer jack that will also serve for pushing it into our barn?
