Why bother dragging a planet around? Just make a big ring, spin it for 
gravity, and hold a ball of plasma in the center as an artificial sun. 
Use directed beams of ions from the plasma ball as thrust. With the 
amount of material used in that structure, you will have something much 
more mobile and with more capacity, you could easily make its surface 
area larger than that of the Earth itself.

Or just adjust a few planetary orbits and take the whole solar system 
with you.
