My rear blade weighs a tad too much to yard around by hand. What I do (your mileage may vary, closed sand-box):
I get as close as I can. Dump the bucket so the bottom is vertical and lower it just enough to take some weight off the front. (did i mention my equipment yard is level so nothing rolls on it's own) In neutral, brake off. This allows me to make minor back-forth movements with the dump control from the ground. There isn't enough movement to allow it to roll over me. The motion is much more controlled than trying to nudge it using the drive train.
Well, that's definitely an easy way to get that last little half inch!!
