If drivable, could drive in reverse to break the rust seal.
Alternatively does the trailer have winch unit.

Does it still have the propshaft? If so you need to lift both fronts or both rears to get them to turn or you're fighting the 4WD.
With both fronts or rears in the air the diff will let them turn but can't with only one wheel lifted
Edit The problem is probably the rear shoes rusted on so a few knocks with a hammer required.

+1 its the rear shoes seized.
If its not, then the IRD must be and difficult to know how that could happen without shattering its case as it would have happened when moving.... and would then have to be lifted and dropped where ever it is now.
If the fronts moved a little when lifted, but won't turn any more than (say) 1/16th of a turn, then it is rear brakes. Confirmed by lifting the rear - one or (probably both) won't turn at all.
The props will need to be left on, to help free the rear brakes under engine power (if it starts).

BY THE LOCAL COUNCIL THAT WE HAVE TO MOVE ALL THE VEHICLES. THE OTHER 4 VEHICLES I COULD MOVE EASILY. BEFORE
BECOMING AN ENGINEER I WAS AN RMC & SF. SO IF YOU CANT SPEAK TO PEOPLE WITH RESPECT , KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF.
AND I AM WELL AWARE OF THE COST
i tried the fronts with the front off the ground, no go
i have one tyre to change, then we are going to try pull it backwards with 2 cars

No need to shout
Maybe you should search @Alibro threads and then know what you are up against, and what he was saying (in jest).
I am a V8 man so forget it, I am not converted yet but, I will say more power to your elbow for trying it
