Since I don't have a tractor yet, we used a Honda Foreman quad to do the heavy work. The weight wasn't heavy enough to just power through, so we had to use the "flying start" method.
We would do this by tightening the chain to make sure it was tightly set, then back up a little bit and goose the throttle. This would be good enough to yank the smaller stuff, but the bigger stumps would take several tries. Once we got the hang of it, we could get 4" stumps with only a few pulls.
Toward the end of the day, we started experimenting with pulling small trees. It worked great. We ran out time before we could try any bigger ones, but am looking forward to see what we can do against the oceans of 3-4 " cedars that need to be cleared.
