Gordon,
Can't answer your question, however in my limited experience of "seeing" trees pulled, the best thing to do it is a Hough FEL! One of my co-workers has one, the bucket is 11' wide and I believe he said it is 300 and some hp. He moved 4 trees and removed top soil for me last summer prior to my barn being built. Just wrapped chains around the bucket to the trees.
Pulled up some smaller Oak trees like you would pull a weed with your hand! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif Also two White Pines that were more mature like they weren't even there! This is one of those huge machines, at least to me, that steers by turning in the middle of the frame. What a beast...and the owner even complimented me on MY choice of tractor, the New Holland TC18!
Good Luck, JimBinMI
