The rim has to be very close to the stump to gain "leverage" and yes, the size of the rim does matter. A smaller rim doesn't allow as much upward force to be applied to the stump.

Rim height from the ground does matter as it converts more of your horizontal pulling force to upward leverage the higher you go from the ground.

Putting the rim closer to the stump does fight you a little if you're on top of a major root, but it has to be as close as possible to convert more of your horizontal pulling force to vertical force..

I've been doing this for more than three decades. Often with 100-125hp tractors, so I believe I know what I"m doing.
