What kind? Usually cut all around it with a shovel, tie a rope, pull it out with whatever machine you have i.e quad, truck, lawn mower

First, get some lotion. Then, some Kleenex. Then, start with the lumberjanes pictured above...
You said, "pull a root" right?
That's not an Aussie expression?

Use a high pressure water hose and wash enough soil away to expose the smaller roots. Cut those and the rest is easy.
Good luck,

I've cut roots with a reciprocating saw then pulled with a truck but I wish I'd have thought about the water hose mentioned above. Still easier than I had thought it would be.

And by "square off" you mean...?
A little Doggy Style perhaps? 
Wait, what?
