Hey, I did that ONCE. I was warned over and over how dangerous it could be, that you could flip the tractor over yada yada yada. After several attempts, I pulled the front wheels off the ground.....almost too far. Scared the bajeebeez out of me so I got smart....or at least I thought it was smart. I turned the tractor around (wide front unlike your JD) and ran the chain under the tractor. I got a lot better traction and there was no fear of it flipping over on me either. The stump starting coming and the tires would spin. After several more attempts it popped right out......and crashed into the front of the tractor knocking a hole in the radiator as well as some body damage. I was furious at myself for not listening to the "smarter" people out there. Now I dig around stumps, drill holes in the top and pour used motor oil on it. After a few months, I put a match to them and they usually smolder for a week or so until they are gone. If the stump isn't too large, I put a 55 gal drum with the top and bottom cut out over the stump, that way I can pile in some brush to keep it hot. Works great and I haven't been back to the radiator shop since!
