I have seen tubs like that stood on their side and moved that way. You'll need something with bigger wheels than typical dolly or else lay down some sheet goods and use the regular dollies. Harbor Freight has some rated at 1000 lb each for a decent price. On sale they are cheaper than buying just the casters.
Even considering the cost of providing a celebratory dinner for your helpers and the cost of dollies and sheets of OSB or plywood it still would be way cheaper than a crane.

We did pick up a couple of dollies from Harbor Freight and have it up on them now. I think the tub is in the general area where it will live. The tub store did say we could stand it up on its side if needed.
Crane turned out to be not an option since I have to be here to rig it and I will be working for the next month.
Dug the trench today with the backhoe, started with the shovel then lost interest with that so fired up the tractor and made a little extra large trench to put the pipe for the electric in. Have to wait for Miss Utility to come out to finish. Only did the part that was away from the house and toward the pool, clear of all wires.
