Well, that's great to know. Next time I have a need to haul home an Airbus, I won't have to post a "What car" thread. 
And I thought we Had the Record when we pulled My Brothers Corvair From Coral Gable's Fla. to Smyrna Ga.( north of Atl.) with Mom's 73 Duster, With A Logging Chain. I think we Still Have the Distance Record.
Oh well Records are Made to be Broken
What, no high-speed run while they were at it? 
Dumb record. Marketing/corporate equivalent of the redneck tug of war.

But but but it is German it has to be. 
What airplain has the lowest rolling resistance per ton. O wait same thread.

Depends on how bumpy or smooth the runway is!
I am disappointed that they didn't tow it around the Nurburgring.

Would have been a good excuse to move the tree line further back!

Pulling an airplane uphill is hard. Pulling one downhill before trying to turn is much harder.
Land Rover towed a 120 tonne train with a tiny 2.0 liter Diesel.
FOR SALE...LOW MILEAGE PORSCHE. EXCELLENT CONDITION. NEEDS CLUTCH
Must not be too difficult. This guy managed to pull 188.83 tons.
They're starting to toy with putting electric hub motors in planes to move around without burning jet fuel. An A320 only needs two 50kw motors to zip about - my Highlander Hybrid has roughly the same power electric motors.

That's my man Magnus Samuelsson! (Or it's his twin)
I was thinking about what Strongmen have pulled but got sidetracked by Land Rovers.
I saw a guy move a six car subway train a few feet with a short bar and one arm.
Magnus pulled 826 tons as well (but he was driving a Volvo truck at the time!)

The idea has been toyed with for years, but every time, it's been determined that unless you're only flying very short flights and have decently long taxi times, carrying the extra weight will cost more in fuel burn (in the air) and reduced (paying) payload than you'll save in fuel burn on the ground.
Especially considering the engines need to be running for 2 - 5 minutes before applying takeoff power anyway, so you'd lose some of the benefits there. And generating the power to run the motors would require a bigger, heavier, more fuel-hungry APU as well...

Chevy did it 45 years ago.

A 747-100 is quite a big lighter than an A380 though.
Toyota pulled the Shuttle.

unibody vs frame not the same class

Add some more air pressure to those tires!!
