I’d use a Bowline to secure the end of the rope to the trailer, and a Trucker’s Hitch at the other end. The Bowline is easy to untie and the Trucker’s Hitch gives a 2:1 mechanical advantage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trucker's_hitch Edit: Another way to secure the end of the rope to the trailer is a Timber Hitch (best for a round pipe) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_hitch. Super secure and can be untied very easily.

Let’s do the Trucker’s Hitch!
