I never had any luck with those choker things. Usually they just slid up skinning the branches. You can bend the loader with too much asymmetric load. Not something you want. A tractor is not a bulldozer. You can load up the draw bar all you want. Be more cautious with the 3-point but it's cheaper to fix a 3-point than a loader. If you put a cross bar between the 3-point lower arms it makes a decent way to lift and pull. If you have strong roots nothing beats a ripper.
