How much force to pull out a 4 inch dia beech tree ???

Anybody any ideas how much force to pull out a 4 inch dia beech tree ??? Well its a beech hedge approx 6ft tall x 50ft long. I have a handy 2 ft dia beech tree close by, and was thinking of winching them out part way then cutting the roots as I go. But how much force would be required, so I can judge on the strength of the rope I need. How long is a piece of string? It depends on what soil they are in, how long they have been there etc. I think you will struggle by just attaching a winch to the trunk, then pullling at it. The strap will likely ride up the trunk as the trunk bends. Any advice please. Dig round it as much as possible before trying to pull it out, cut through any roots, then try to pull it out. I watched a JCB trying to get out 6" tree trunk this week - even that couldnt get it out without digging out one side of the stump before dragging it out with the bucket.
