I have an excellent stump puller, a John Deere R model. Good and heavy and low to the ground. I have in the past cut trees off about four or five feet above the ground and then hooked the chain as high as I can around the top of the stump. This actually serves to pick the rear end of the tractor up off the ground instead of turning the tractor over on top of you and the top of the tree doesn't beat you half to death. I have pulled six to eight inch trees out using this method and left nothing but a big hole to fill up. Just don't jerk the load and never hook to anything but the draw bar and always keep one foot or hand on the clutch. I have also backed the tractor up to the stump a little off center from the stump. This way, you can get a little start and the tractor kinda slides sideways to line itself up with the stump and gives you a little extra kick with out jerking the guts out of the machine. I have done this with four wheel drive trucks too and never broke anything yet. It also helps to soak the ground around the tree for several hours with a trickle of water. Good luck and be safe. Don't be a statistic.
