Have 45m run of double staggered Leylandii .... (no I didn't plant them)

Want to remove and plant something better ... I can obvioulsy use s chain
saw and cut down to a stump, there seems to be 2 main options to removal
of the remainder.

1. Pull out stump with a trefoil such as in this video

... but how well will that work on 20 yr old Leylandii .... typical
diameter between 6 and 8 " .... assume roots will be extensive

2. Hire a stump grinder .... HSS have a 6HP model :

or do I need something beefier such as

The trees are on a raised bank about 1.5m above ground behind a 1.2m
wall.
I can put a ramp to wheel up a 'portable' grinder .... but not something
like a bobcat or similar
