That seems to be the problem with doing it that way.

I don't know what your cleared area size is, the size of root balls, density of debris, etc. etc. or the burning rules around your place. I had a little under an acre cleared and piled such that I could manage a burn and firewood cutting on a regular basis. Horsed around very large stumps with my little BX. Too small a tractor to do it efficiently but it was dang fun.
Took me a couple years to completely burn up non firewood debris. Stumps took multiple burns but were always the center of my next burn pile. Had to keep the pile reasonable (bigger than burn code but reasonable and manageable with a garden hose to 'sort of' control if needed. Not advising this process here but I surely did not want to bury them as I didn't want to deal with it for years and years. I love having a burn pile going while I'm landscaping etc.

We got annexed by a city, your not supposed to burn now. Some people (not me I would never break a rule) still do occasionally, but a bunch of logs and stumps would probably attract unwanted attention.

Understand. We are under county rules and I stretched it a bit. Neighbors could have... but in my case didn't rain on my parade. I guess a little different attitude the further from 'civilization'.
When I lived in the suburbs and burned smaller piles, a newly arrived next door neighbor called the FD twice. In both cases, I was legal (pretty much) and the FD was nice enough, but it really pissed me off that the neighbor was trying to be the police for reasons that weren't neighborly. Guess what, I helped him (for free with my time and tools) before that, but I never helped him after that. I never asked him for help before or after that. How did that work out, neighbor?

I have known people to get ratted out by neighbors and by overly concerned citizens driving on the closest 4 lane and seeing smoke "over there"

Hickory, gum and oak.
I'm guessing I need to go on and pay to haul them off. The tops and brush will probably be chipped and blown over the rear of the property.
