Hi Simon
With trees around to anchor it to my tool of choice would be a Tirfor hand winch to pull them out - very satisfying and more quiet than an excavator.

We did one of these last winter in our garden - it was hard work but done in about 2 hours with 2 of us.
We dug down and round the tree stump, which was about the size of yours. The major roots were sawn through about a foot down, then attached the stump to the vans tow bar and out it popped. Touch wood - we havent had any re-growth.

1.5 should get them out. A lot of digging rather than pulling them straight out but levering off the top should come out easy enough.
Thanks for the advice all, I've had a go this afternoon with a combination of pulling stops and a thick chain hooked up to a dumper truck. One did snap off at the ground, which may be a bit of a sod to get out but a number of the others came out well.
I think now if I clear around the remaining bigger ones with a mini digger then go again with the dumper and a chain I should get them all out.
Thanks John, Adam and Seth for your advice!
