All those comparisons in the video are pretty much pointless unless following things are same for both tractors/vehicles:
- same tires
- same air pressure in tires
- same weight and weight distribution on front and rear axle

As it is seen in the video, the main thing is traction. And the points above are the ones that influence traction the most. If the above is fullfiled it will be a pure matter of the tractor itself:
- transmission type/layout
- engine power/torque curve
This is something you can test and compare on a dyno test stand using different load settings for pull force and pto power.

Right, and since it looks like a lot of the tractors are different brands, many of these specs are going to be atleast slightly different. Its very similar to big trucks.
