I'm gonna be another one who says it can be done, but you've got to be smart about how you do it, or you'll end up eating chain.

The key is leverage. Most people equate pulling stumps to cutting the tree off level with the ground, wrapping a chain around it, then tugging and jerking with the tractor for all its worth until the chain breaks or the stump comes loose.

Small trees, about the size you're pulling, work best if you leave a stump at least 4-5 feet tall. Wrap the chain around the top, and it'll tip over easy as pie. If the chain breaks, it's going to head straight for the ground, but it won't break because you're not putting a fraction of the tension on it that you would using brute force.

Once the stump is tipped over, you can hack away at the remaining roots until it's free, then drag it away.
