Tow straps are call that for a reason and pulling stumps is not towing.
This is where you use a winch.
Set a Deadman to hold the winch vehicle.
Using two ****** blocks take a strain on the tree about 4 feet above the ground.
P is the winch
The top block is attached to the winch vehicle.
(Chain it to the frame.)
The bottom block is attached to the tree (W)
A 8,000# winch can pull 24,000# with this set up.
