Pulling it along a surface basically because you don't have to support the weight... In terms of physics lifting the object requires you to counteract the force of gravity while if you push it you just have to overcome friction which is the friction coefficient multiplied by the normal force (which in many cases is the force of gravity)... And since the coefficient is always less than one the force will in all cases be less by sliding it.
