Synthetic webbed strapping is great stuff when used properly in the proper application. We use it in the form of slings, chokers & spreaders to lift many things at work, some of the loads are in the hundreds of tons.
I would not use it to pull stumps with my tractor.
Synthetic strapping stretches when it's tensioned, kind of like a rubber band. It returns to original length when tension is released. Rapidly.
If your stump suddenly lets go after a hard pull, it could come at you like a rocket. If the strap slips, it will recoil right into you.
I would use chain for that kind of pull, it doesn't stretch and recoil like straps do.
Just my opinion though.
