Comment from John Herriott: I think its important to note that on a really heavy pull [pole wagon etc.] the boss elephant man ,and or the boss hostler would attach pulling teams on other parts of the wagon as well for fear of pulling the front fifth wheel assembly right out from under the wagon, so it would help by pulling on all parts of the wagon most notably the corner rings on both the front or back of the wagon and even having a couple elephants pushing from behind. Every little bit helps, and Oh Yes, you should never pull straight away but forward from side to side.
