if it is that small of stuff, get a skid loader anf get one of Cokes sons tree puller. the reason is his puller will out pull and outlast any on the market. mine has pulled approx. 1200 trees from 8 inch on down to 1 inch trunks in size and it still works/looks like new yet. if you go in and shred them, don't drive back in with pneumatic tired anything as all it will do is flatten tires. cutting and spraying them is labor intensive, pulling them and piling them is best. the piles will dry out for burning or if not burnt, create a good wildlife habitat.

Too Hilly to get a skid loader in there. Would spend more time trying to get it off its side and back on it's tracks / tires

Bush hogs can take a lot. I can show you what I have done in similar situations: http://allischalmers.shutterfly.com/pictures/176

If it is European Buckthorn - unless it's killed to the root it will come back 2 fold it seems .
Just cutting it off and the roots send out several new stalks or trunks - the birds spread it as the black berries seem to be a diuretic and birds drop the seed which seems to grow instantly .
I took a lot of it out with the backhoe before son built his puller for skid loader use.
He has modified a unit also to fit on front of utility tractors to mound on loader arms - so can build units for front or back of tractors

If you can be there over a weekend, burn it on Friday and early Saturday. That way you're getting rid of the crap while protecting the BIG trees. It's a waiting game, but worth it. PATIENCE,,,,,,,,,,,,,a little at a time.

Maybe you could get someone in to cut the trees for the lumber and get them to clean out all the crap?
