I bet, that no tiger would drag this one anywhere, I think, that not even biggest bear there is would move this more than a meter :)

Honestly, I am 100% sure the largest bear can easily drag more than twice or thrice that weight with no sweat. There is a video on the "Bear Strength" where a polar bear was dragging a dead, bloody walrus, and that walrus appeared to be 2 to 3 times heavier than the bear.

Well, bears weighing about 600-700 kg would have own body mass helping when making sharp pulls, so combination of strength and body mass will give some advantage. But pulling a walrus on ice ice might be somewhat easier, that something else on dry land when there is more friction.

I think, that when animal weight is 1,5 tons (in kg), not even most gigantic brown bear would drag it long distances. It would require a lot of effort. If bears would sweat, we would see it with a carcass this size if that cow would be dead :) But I have to check that walrus video, that how long distance and how hard work it seems to be :) I haven´t looked so much polar bears lately.
