Like a lot of other posters I think your best bet is to process it on site somehow. But failing that...
Simplest thing would be to pile it up next to where the dumpster will go, when the pile gets big enough bring in a dumpster and fill it from the pile. But that means handling it twice. If you don't want to do that, you have to figure out some other sort of container to put it in that you can then move with the tractor to the dumpster. I don't know how much brush weighs, but let's say it's about the same as mulch, which is about 800 pounds per cubic yard. My tractor can lift about 1600 pounds so that's two cubic yards. Let's say you go with a 20-yard dumpster, you'd need ten containers, each two yards. Of course anything that doesn't fit in the container would have to be cut up, which means it's more work.
Another option is to call the dumpster company and ask them if they have any ideas. They may be willing to work something out.
