If I had that much overgrowth, (several acres) I think I would just hire a dozer (or FECON type machine) to just come in and clear it up. Pay once and be done. Fence lines can be controlled with a pole saw but still need to be done about every couple years. Tree limbs always grow toward the light so either get rid of the trees or just resign to the fact that they need to be trimmed regularly.
Around my fence lines I just keep them trimmer up high enough to drive my tractor under them without touching. For encroaching scrub brush, you need to clear it back to whatever line you want (fenceline, property line etc) and then keep the saplings mowed down or sprayed with 2-4D brush killer.
