I agree with others that you will be disappointed if you think a 5000 lb tractor is going to do much to a 2 foot diameter tree. I have a 8000 lb compact track loader that wouldn't have a chance. I have found that they make the right tool for most anything and that's why I always hire an excavator to do that kind of work. They can do more in an hour that I could do in a month, figure about 5 minutes a tree. Then I use my tractors with grapple for cleanup. This type of work can really tear up your equipment too. Good luck with whatever you decide.
