Dang Hay Dude, hope you have a bunch of “groundies”. That’s gonna be a heavy job if you want to keep it clean and not do more damage.
Brushing everything where it sits is going to make a huge difference in how big of a mess you make picking it up. I would bid very high and hire 2-3 good guys to help. One running a saw and the others just building piles you can grab with a machine. I’ve done a few tree cleanups like that on my own, usually just two or so trees in a spot, never more than four at a time and usually I can get through about a 70’ tree in three hours with me, my saw, and tractor with grapple of that helps your estimate.
Here’s an example of a 3-4 hr job, that’s a single tree all by itself but after I was done you could hay right up to the stump. That’s how long it takes, if it’s tangled with another tree it will take longer, more than twice as long if they are tangled.
