It's a ballache
Depending how old it is, you should be able to take it down neatly and put it back up again

During a ferocious boundary dispute between two brothers locally a curvy roof tin dutch barn 90 x 30 was gas axed off at ground level and towed across the yard, it survived but was never quite the same shape again - it was never refastened to the ground and tended to wander a bit when the wind blew.
I don't know the answer to your question @Sleepy but I suggest that you don't do it like that.

Slightly off topic but recall a wealthy farmer who had a massive battle with the planners.
He got permission for a new storage shed but deliberately built is 10 yards from where it was meant to go. They went mad and served an enforcement notice, he played dumb right up to the last minute then gas axed and dragged the whole unit to the correct place.
Inspector came out and went away scratching head!

Just cut it and weld skids on the bottom then tow it like a sledge.
Apologies. This has just been mentioned above.

The thought did cross my mind, it's only 60'x60

Just be sure to bolt plenty of bracing between the posts

Could add extra bracing I guess and even if just temporary it wouldn't take long?
I know of a guy that's going to make 15 sheds 60ftx30ft movable on skids for chickens with a winch pull so when that's all kitted out a 60x60 agri shed may well be lighter
It may be best to remove any sheets that cross between purlin joins if it's a fibre cement roof to save any cracking

4 steels bolted together 100' long, and use them as tracks? I'd come down just to see if it would work.
