If you have not cut the trees down you can tip them out. Lay a chain around the trunk so it forms a U. On the long lengths of the chain pile cord wood about two feet high right next to the trunk. Take the chain end up over the pile of cord wood and around the tree trunk and hook it together as tight as you can to hold the cord wood up close to the base of the tree trunk. Hook a chain or good rope as high in the tree as you can get it and from a good long distance ie longer than the tree is tall pull on that chain with a tractor so you are tipping the tree over the pile of cord wood. The cord wood will act like a fulcrum to rip the tap root out of the ground. You may have to cut lateral roots on the side of the tree away from the cord wood pile. I was taught this years ago in forestry school and we did it in the woods with students pulling on the rope. Good luck, be careful.

Flax provided the fibre which w
