I don't like to be the bearer of bad news,BUT.
I don't think it will work. I may do a tree or two but not much. I have a CA Allis and I made a tree grubber to go one the 3PH and it will stall the tractor pulling a 2" pine. I have pulled a lot of small trees in the past and can tell you from past expereince they are tougher than most people think. 120 pounds of grip isn't as much as you think, and as several others have stated, air compresses and it doesn't stay in one position like hydraulic cylinders will.
It also seems to be pretty far back from the end of the lift arms, but that may be an illusion.
Here is a pic of a simple tree grubber I made. It is behind a 3000 Ford in this pic. I'm all for people making job specific implements and certianly don't want to discourage you cause it looks like you thought it out and made your idea come to life and I hope it works, but if it doesn't you can still make one to do the job at hand.
