Removing this tree to make room for another tree...

If you have an $70,000 Super Duty, you'll be better off renting a Bobcat. Otherwise, cut it flush with the ground and do one of the stump removal process found on the interwebs.

Or hire a stump grinder.

I work for a tree service and there is no chance you pull that out with your truck. I would cut the tree down flush to the ground and try and plant somewhere else.

That's pretty big for a truck. Maybe a full size 4wd if you soak the root system for a few days and soften things up. put your chain up pretty high on the tree, you need the leverage. Maybe 4 or 5 feet up. I've pulled plenty of stuff out with a truck or tractor or both, but that's pretty big.

If you dig it out before you cut it down and then bend it over with your hitch and get an ax on the tap root then you’ll get rid of the old tree and dig your hole for your new tree at the same time. I have all the tools you need if you want to borrow them.

His also looks like a young Leyland cypress. There's not much of a trunk on them anyway.

Hmmm. My truck is a 4x4 tundra and it would be on pavement. Does that change anything?

You'll snap the axles on pavement.

I say go for it. Make sure you video it and right as the video starts make sure you say "hold my beer".

Sounds like a lot of risk to use the same spot. I think I'm gonna just cut it down and grind down the stump, and plant the new tree close by.
