Not a fun job, but its just disassembling things. Crow bars, hammers, sawzall, etc. Buddys and beer help.
Its like the saying goes... "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!"

Do you think it will be easer to cut the walls and then push in with the tractor? The only problem there a small room that's downstairs all cemented to the trailer.

The Nova idea would top the list as most fun... Combine with buddys and beer... 'Hey y'all watch this!'
I guess it depends on your desire to salvage material. The one we took apart, we wanted to separate aluminum siding (recycled/sold), wood/burnables, steel beams, and true trash. We also didnt have equipment avalible, all was done with hand tools and muscles.

Diesel and used motor oil would be fun but it's in the woods and the Wis.dnr would not like that. I just want the frame all wood will be burned next summer.

Drive it to the local dump and have them strip it off the frame. Put the frame on CL for $500 and you got rid of it for free.
If you want to do this your self, then just go at with a tractor. There isn't much for strength in them. If you have too small of a machine, cut a hole in one corner, feed a chain down the center and hook it on the frame. With the other end attached to the tractor (or truck), you should be able to open the wall up like a zipper.

Regardless how you do it, you are gonna have a mess. Best way to control that mess is as Greg said, by hand, piece at a time.
Attack it with a tractor and you'll be lucky to finish without a flat tire and you'll have debris everywhere.
