There are absolutely no such things as "pulling" forces.

Force = mass x Acceleration --- F = mA

That physically means that "the mass" is Accelerating (moving).

That physically and absolutely means that the mass can only push.

"Pulling" is simply "Pushing" on the inside of any attached grip to any piece of mass.

Think of a heavy box lying on the ground with a rope attached for pulling. Until you try to pull the box it doesn't actually resist you.

The friction between the box and the ground sets up this force.
