The principle is simple, it is a basic triangle to change the angle the force is applied. With a hitch the force would be close to at a right angle to what you need, the perfect direction being straight up. I have pulled small stumps with an engine hoist doing the same thing. The limitation is the root ball. You need to have the bottom of the triangle far enough away so that it is not on top of the root ball, otherwise you are literally pulling against yourself. The other VERY important thing is how the chain is attached. If it can slide or slip it can easily hurt someone or your truck. It is best to have a second observer watch while another drives the pull vehicle.
