So we've got an entirely flat surface that also happens to be the exact same length as the earth's surface.
If you had one continuous piece of string that went from one end of that flat surface to the other, and on one end there was attached a bell... would you be able to ring the bell by pulling on the other end of string?
Earth's diameter is 41.804 million feet. I'm not sure if you meant that or Earth's circumference when you said "Earth's surface", but I figure either one is gonna get us a really big number.
The first result I can find for string comes in a pack that weighs 2.89oz and contains 328 feet of string.
Using that as our standard, you would need 127,452 packs of string (assuming you find a way to perfectly attach them without wasting any length on knots).
So if we ignore the string stretching, compressing, or breaking, you'd only need to be able to pull 11ish tons of string to ring the bell!
EDIT:
Just for fun: Assuming the motion of the string travels at the speed of sound (I have no idea if it actually would, it just sounds right), there would be about 10.5 hours between you pulling the string and the bell ringing on the other side.
