I think it works out that if you are stuck over halfway up your wheels, then it effectively doubles the weight you are pulling... Usually when I get stuck its normally a case of mud up the doors so climb out the window ;)

That's got to at least quadruple the weight!
That would be known as a ground factor, used to work out the rolling rolling resistance. Also depends on the gradient, any damage and a safety factor.
