Comparing the F150 to a Farmall, if the F150 were a 4x4 with low range, and you could put the power to the ground, it could easily pull as much or more than the Farmall.
But looking at the big picture, it couldn't do it over and over or pull the same load all day, day after day. It would soon stress the engine, frame, suspension, and drive train to the breaking point.
As for engine differences, an automotive engine is typically a high compression, short stroke, big bore, big valves, lots of valve overlap, light flywheel, light block, gets it's best power up around 6000 RPM, and rarely runs in that range. Good thing too, cause it wouldn't last long doing that!

Then rebuild it, and do it again!

The draft forces are
