What happens here

Once the pulley system is set up, begin pulling on the free end of the rope. Due to the 3:1 mechanical advantage, significantly less force is required to move the trailer than its actual weight. Continue pulling steadily until the trailer moves out of its stuck position. The video shows the trailer successfully moving forward.

Goal: Extract the stuck trailer from the ground.
