Pulling small trees

That’s ambitious! First on this rail bed I don’t have that much maneuvering room. But I enjoyed watching it!
Are you doing a rails to trail conversion? If you are trying to pull trees out of an old railroad track that could change the perspective on the advice given.

Pulling out of compacted rock and gravel would be different than pulling out of soft soil.

Yes. This is a track that was abandoned 30-40 years ago. An old MP track SE of Topeka, KS. I don’t think it ever saw heavy traffic. I’m retired and walk these trails frequently and thought clearing the next miles would be a good project. Since I posted this I have been told that someone with this group has a skid steer loader with some type of tree pulling attachment. Leave the trees about 4’ high. And I’ve watched a number of videos on YouTube. I have an idea I’m going to try with the three point hitch and we’ll see if that works on smaller ones.
