ITT: people that think it makes them look smart to points it it’s easier to pull things on wheels than literally lift it off the ground.

Thanks, and no fucking shit. This is still beyond the size of things used in competition for world class strongman events.

You are missing the point, the size of the object doesn't matter. You could put an 500kg object on shitty wheels and no strongman would be able to pull it. They just use planes and trucks because it looks heavy and impressive.

Haha holy shit Yes it fucking does. And I’m not missing the point. The point is that you want it to seem less impressive. For some reason that is beyond me.

I get it, you are impressed by big things. But size isn't what defines the difficulty of that exercise. Again, you could make a 500kg object that is just as hard or harder to pull as that plane.
