Where did they get this one, or is it digitally altered and if so why?

The <a href="http://www.eagleindustrialtruck.com/products/product_details.aspx?p=0211061606584409&c=Commercial_Aviation" rel="nofollow">Eagle TT-12 AWD tractor</a>, for instance, weighs more than 13,500 pounds and is rated to pull 180,000 pounds in first gear (120,000 in third). And that's with a 3.1 liter, 83 horsepower 4-cylinder engine! That’s cool, but I can’t help but wonder how the Touareg compares to the aircraft tow tractors that do the job in reality.
