I agree, hire the biggest dozer or hydraulic excavator you can afford, and dig, not pull the stumps. If you ever want to clear trees again, pull them over before they are cut off. Dig around them a little, then hitch on as high as you dare to climb, this gives an amazing amount of leverage. Just be sure your tractor is out of range of the tree when it comes down. My dad spent half an hour with an ax, freeing the driver of an H that got an apple tree on it. Didn't hurt him any, he hust couldn't move. Another way to get rid of stumps is to just ignore them and eventually they will rot away. For pasture you can get away with it. My grandfather had five big (5-600 pounds) sows which he used to remove stumps and boulders. Take an iron bar and poke some holes under the stump, then pour in some dry corn, and let the hogs dig for it. It may take several tries but the stump or boulder will finally be sitting in a hole with no dirt around it, then just haul it away.
