My daddy was always a chain man, and he taught me to be as well this way. If you had to pull a fat woman out of Dunkin Donuts, she could chew through the strap
. I always use chain and short 2-3 foot rolls to soften the ground up to let the roots go. When the stump starts moving it's time to pull straight on. I have used that method with 2wd's as well as 4wd and it works every time. I don't mean gun it 2-3 foot at a time, just an easy touch on the throttle. The weight of the truck is enough to move most stumps.

Use a cable and a ****** block hooked low to another tree or stump; hook one end high to the stump to be pulled and the other end to your hitch .... the ****** block will double your pull and reduce the load on the truck by half. The more blocks you use the greater the mechanical advantage on the pull.
