Don't be so sure no tow job is too big. Ever seen some of the 100+ ton (that's capacity, not gross weight) dump trucks used in open pit mines? For comparison purposes, the maximum legal gross weight for a 5-axle combination (i.e. a standard 18 wheeler) is 40 tons.
Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
Its small, but not as ridiculous as when my scooter needed a tow...

Meh. It probably weighs less than the average MBT.
...indeed. Wikipedia sez it "only" weighs about 10 tons. For comparison, the average *light* tank in WW2 was 10-15 tons; a Matilda II is 25 tons, a Churchill 40 tons, and a Centurion 50 tons.
And yes, it *is* possible to tow a Centurion. You just get another Centurion to do it.
Which is the weight of the Peterbilt of Natural Selection running bobtail (no trailer). I've been towed (breakdown) when I was barely under the legal limit (80,000 pounds) for 5-axle combinations (almonds are heavy).
