Note how the wheels move faster than the rope.
The force on the wheels is equal to the pull on the rope. The axle is the 'gearing' that works against the motion, but the resulting rope movement is still forward.
I think it is clear there's no trickery involved. The experiment does not look that difficult to replicate anyway.
