I'm guessing this is new to you or you wouldn't be asking. Listen to the other two - this is not the right machine for pulling stumps. You need a dozer.

If you try, you will risk flipping the tractor. Stumps are too close to the ground to easily pull out and the tractor will try to lift the front end off the ground when you start pulling. People get hurt trying this.

If you have further trees to remove, you can cut them off higher than stumps and use a chain to pull them out that way. Tree trunks are easier to get out if they are several feet high. Even then, be careful: you are pulling them toward yourself. A lot of energy can get spring loaded via a bent tree trunk.
