Yeah That was an oversight in the production. That truck may be able to move that load, if they took it on an insured road their ass would be grass. Farm use only.

That F250 is 11,000 lbs over legal weight according to DOT's standard formula for calculating towing loads. Ford says 2020 F250 has a GCWR of 10,000lbs the truck weighs 5,400 lbs leaving @4,600 lbs for towing and payload. That trailer is 7,000 lbs and according to CAT that excavator is 20,000 lbs. Gearing will make the truck deliver power differently but it cannot make it more powerful or heavier so it can steer a loaded trailer like that at hwy speeds in a tight spot. I've seen charts that talk about gearing and increases in towing capacity, All I can say is DOT calculates towing capacity this way and pointing at a chart you saw on google isn't going to get you out of a ticket if you are driving this rig down an insured road.

How long and what axles does the last trailer with the ford pulling the excavator have? I need that same exact setup

Don't do it... That's massively too much weight for an F250. Not sure what the heck they were thinking when they did that in an instructional/educational video. You would need an F450 or Ram 4500 or GM 4500 to tow an 8 ton machine legally.
