Well I posted under the assumption that you were not rich.

If you can afford a tractor, you might want to try what I did to get a friends aborvite root system out after watching him flay away with a hand axe for a few hours. I took my 15 lb cast steel navy fluke anchor that I use for fishing and shoved the flukes as deep into the root mass as possible. I ran a 3/8" diameter links chain from the mandrel of the anchor to the back of my FORD (Other truck owners can forget about it.) E150 vans home made tow bar assembly, put it in low, dragged out the root system, and moved the house foundation about 3 feet. We returned the house foundation to its original site by catapualting GM trucks at the side of the house as their soft bodies do not damage the brick, and besides using them as bouy anchors, that's one of the only things they are good for.

Good luck with your new tractor.
