In reality, it's not difficult to get tremendous loads to move. You cannot accelerate at any reasonable level and you cannot climb even the slightest upgrade..........but.........rolling along at 40 mph or less is not a terribly difficult task.

BTW, the tractor weight is probably close to 20K lbs.
