Your safety ties are fine. Do what you can to allow some give to prevent a jerk. Nylon staps are good for this. ... Dropping bucket and 3ph will do LESS than 4wd brakes and this bad situation will be compounded with loss of steering control.

Yes. It would be a really bad day if you jack-knife and roll the tractor, wreck the trailer, and pull the barn over all in one swoop, For good luck, I'll predict this, because it's a universal truth that nothing happens as predicted.

The trailer is parked tightly in it's spot in the barn, the tractor now has the utility box back on the 3ph and is parked in it's spot in the barn, and the truck is in town getting maintenance performed and then detailed. All in all the whole shooting match went just fine. took ya'lls advice and thoughts to heart. I kept the tractor out of the situation until I had it up on the level ground at the barn itself. Perhaps a 20' area in front of the 32' wide by 40' long barn. The truck as always, moved the trailer up the hill as it has in the past and I maneuvered the Airstream up onto the flat area and ready to make the tight turns into the barn.
Chocked it in place, hooked up the tractor and easily made a couple of really tight hard moves and wah freaking lah.....in place...............

Got to thank aLL of you for your help, concern, consideration, and mostly your knowledge and advice based upon YOUR experience..............This for me, is an example of what makes this outfit so great........THANKS again and God bless...........Dennis

Smart move not using the tractor until you had it up on the level ground sorry I didn't chime in sooner just now saw the thread I did almost exactly what you were asking about a few years back with a similar size tractor and it was a little sketchy on the slopes and off-road but was fine on the flat.
