Similar to what has been written, I wouldn't recommend using a tractor to pull most trees. I've got tractors up to 180 hp including a 4WD and wouldn't consider pulling out a 8-10 inch tree. As was already mentioned, a backhoe would be the golden ticket for removing the trees. You can rent one but it probably would be cheaper and without a doubt more safe to hire it done. Forget digging the footing, unless you are willing to buy a skid steer, backhoe attachment for a standard tractor or better yet a backhoe. Unless you have extra time, want to play, and are willing to fix/pay for correcting any mistakes, hire the footings dug. As for a mower tractor there are a great many options. I wouldn't choose a foreign made machine that it might become difficult to find parts/service. Would look for live hydraulics and PTO, or better yet independant PTO. Power steering would be nice and very likely FWD if intending to get a loader. Probably would avoid getting a belly mower if you intend to use the tractor for many other chores, particularly if buying a loader.
