Been doin a bit of this after a big blow a month back.
Obviously not the preferred method but sometimes things don't allow cranes or big loaders. This was one with the lot, boggy wet ground n so bloody big that no truck crane could drag it out. Then told it had to be done asap.
It works ok and cost wise equal if not cheaper than crane loader n truck to it waste. But its so unorthodox I had to post some pictures.

Did try to flip it on its side but 80 horse john deere just span in th soft meadow grass as was still well rooted in no can get under side.
In all about 2 hours of grinding away now about 2 hours of clean up.
 
Once again, necessity is the mother of invention.
We had a wet spell in North Texas last Winter/Spring that made the ground like a wet sponge for weeks on end.
