How about vice grips with a comealong from a 4x4 between 2 55-gallon
drums?

Good idea. I've been using a 2 ton hoist for this kind of operation and ruin
it where I had to do some major cutting and welding to put the hoist back in
service. The pulling tensile strength of rebar or tree roots is unbelievably
high.

I don't think he intends to stretch the rebar longer, just break it
away from what's holding it.
