The most available vehicles to tow it at the time were three-tonners, but it is clear they were outside the 'comfort zone'.
These particular images show a cab 12 C60L in towing trails at Monegeeta (the army's proving ground). The carrier on the trailer was loaded to a specific weight with added track sections dumped in the back. The trailer certainly took charge in the latter part of the test.
Imagine driving the towing vehicle - a speed limit that must have been imposed (and you couldn't go fast on a flat road if you wanted to) there would have been restricted rear vision. Making a turn would have been hazardous, let alone an emergency stop.
