Lifting vs dragging/pulling feats

So is there a substantial difference between dragging something that weighs 1 ton (no implements like wheels or pulleys or ropes) versus lifting something that weighs 1 ton?

Yeah, generally for pulling things on rough surfaces we have to take friction co-efficient into account. Which might sometimes increase results and might sometimes lower results, but it really depends.
 
Is there an example I can look up for pulling calculation?
Only examples I can think of where LS feats involve friction coefficient is Leon's rock-moving feat. Though it is a pushing feat, the formula is made for both pushing and pulling.
 
Dragging something can be accomplished by overcoming the force caused by friction, whose formula is: F = Fn * µ,
where Fn is the normal force exerted by the Earth on the mass and µ is the coeffient of friction

It generalizes to: F = m * g * cos θ * µ, where θ is the angle of the slope the objects lies on

Considering the coeffient of friction can be really tiny, you can drag massive objects such as Planes with far lower LS
