I got some Asian pear trees. They produce lots of suckers from the rootstock.
Do they hurt the tree? Or can they be let alone to grow a foot or two before cutting back late Fall?

Do you have a photo? They are likely BET or callery rootstock.
Nothing suckers like a quince rootstock.

They are not going to hurt anything. Let them go and cut them in the fall/winter.

That looks more like pyrus communis rootstock. I have a potomac like that. Those rootstocks do sucker for sure.
