"If it will pull it, is it safe to do so?"

My reply below didn't address that part of your post.

No.

I agree with SDE that it would be hard to break the tractor.

I shuddered a little though when you said something about dragging trees in third. Logs are dangerous enough to drag when they're rigged right. If they're not or the rigging should fail, they can flip or roll you in a heartbeat even in first, if they fetch up. A whole tree, depending on the type can fetch up even quicker. The only tractor I ever saw flip was one where a guy was pulling fencposts by wrapping them with chain and using the torque of his tractor wheel to lift them. A neat trick, if you chain it to the front side of the wheel and go in reverse. He went the other way, and lived only because the ground gave on one side and the tractor rolled instead of coming straight back over, and he was able to get away from it.

Be careful!
