That demonstrates neither.
As Trans said, this whole video demonstrates traction. Hook the steamer to a 4' tree stump and try to pull it out of the ground. Does the tree stump have more torque by not going anywhere? No, it has more traction to stay put and be anchored into the ground.
Talk to any puller or drag racer and the holy grail is traction and with the weight of the steamer, it had a LOT of traction.
Look at the 5 minute mark. You think the pickup wins because he has more torque? No, he wins because he has more traction.
Horses, with their small foot print have a lot of traction too!
