I've had great luck knocking down small trees using a Ratchett Rake on the FEL of my JD 3038. The rake catches small trees and allows you to literally push them out of the ground by the dozen. You can then rake them into piles. Trees 3 inches or better I try to pull with a chain - sometimes using a log as a fulcrum. Works well. Bigger than that go to a chain saw.
Have a box blade and agree that back pushing is not a good idea. I have bent the BB frame backing when I hit a rock.
