I can only say for a B737-200, it’s not a recommended procedure, however the aircraft can physically do it. It has being successfully done at max all up weight on a level surface out of a bay and partially turned into the lane. At most African airports simple things like tugs/ tow bars / Tow link fitting are luxury items. I also heard a KLM 747 had done it at a African airport. forced to divert due wx.
