That's cool, but not really the same thing.  Pulling a 12kg object with
wheels under it (like you're Garbage Truck ) requires some amount of force,
but it is *much* less than lifting that same 12kg in an arrangement like the
one that Thomas used to test his tractor's guts.  Check out his website and
you'll see what I mean.

I showed both these models at LEGO World 2001 in Zwolle, the Netherlands. • I
tried to let the tractor chassis pull the garbage truck. I was surprised • to
see it was able to pull the 12 kilograms... Lego is quite capable to pull • a
lot of weight, but you have to build it strong enough.

It sounds I am braging, but I am not...
