When I turn my bikes in gravel I never stop until the front wheel is pointed the direction I’m pushing or pulling next. I have figured out that sitting still the is a small hole to get out of.

You need to figure a way to turn it around before you get on the gravel and just ride thru the gravel.
I use a motorcycle lift to lift and spin my Fat boy around in the garage, then just pull it out.

Before you started selling your motorcycles, have you checked the tire air pressure recently? Low pressure can make them harder to roll, extremely low pressure can feel like the brakes are dragging, good luck.
