Not too surprised. Steel wheels on steel rails have very little rolling resistance. People move rail cars with pry bars.

That tow strap would make me nervous.

Why? It would hold anything that truck could put out.

That's awesome. Wouldn't want it to be my truck though... at least daily driver!

I looked into building a log arch like that on my trailer. They seem pretty effective. But Then I got a tractor and a grapple lid.

Let's compare the 2 for a moment...
A 1970s 3/4 ton with an little old 350 gas motor pulling 187 tons.
A 2010+ F350 (or is it a F450?) with a modern diesel pulling 120 tons.
As the video says "why ford trucks are best: " Hardly. The Chevy wins that one hands down

I come from a long line of railroaders, my father worked a train yard for CSX. They don't need pry bars to move rail cars actually. Putting your back against the car and pushing some with your legs is all it takes for a 180lbs man to get one started moving.
