LOL. Is coming up with ideas bad etiquette? I would say absolutely not.

Maybe use the rear hitch as an attachment place to nudge it into place with the tractor once it is in the garage.

First off, I have never done this, so I have no idea if it will work or not. I could be wrong, but I think that moving / nudging 15,000 lbs around is not going to be easy. And, probably even scarier is, that if you get it moving, and wanted to stop, you might have an issue getting it shut down in time, before running into a wall.
I have a 4,000 lb enclosed cargo trailer, and I plan on "wiggling" it into place with this trailer moving thingy, which is rated to do the job:

I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet, because the trailer is out on loan at the moment, but this trailer is hard to "nudge" when I'm hooking up, so I wonder how successful I will be in the end?
So, in answer to your question about etiquette, I'll pose another question.
Is it bad etiquette to give advice, if you don't have first hand personal experience? Maybe. But, you asked for advice, and I thought that thru, and my advice is, I probably wouldn't try that, or I don't think that it would work all that well. Maybe others that have actually tried it/done it will chime in.
At any rate, good luck in finding a solution that works for you!!
