Didn't read the other responses but a couple of tips. The drawbar of your tractor is below the axle for a reason. Pulling from below the axle helps to put pressure on the front end which helps to KEEP IT ON THE GROUND....don't neglect this safety issue....no pulling from high up on the rear. No backing up to the stump and getting a running start.....guaranteed to flip you. Be ready, at any case to push in the clutch at the slightest indication of the front end wanting to come up. It can flip in a heartbeat so be ready. No chains around the tires. If the tires can't pull or spin and you are applying power to the drive line the tractor will flip....gotta cause the power has to go somewhere and since the wheel can't turn the tractor will. Flips are fatal. Only way I have gotten stumps out is to dig, cut roots, and pull till you find the last root. Some people try to burn them out but they have to be dead and we have a burn ban here and couldn't anyway. Good luck. Mark
