You must take out the stumps - they will rot and leave holes anyway- fairly quickly as the are pines. Also nothing will damage an ATV or rider- as hitting a stump. You must cover you liabilities. Rent a tracked excavator with a thumb, bigger than you think you need, and a D8 sized dozer. You will need it. Pile everything up, and bring in a tub grinder, or better yet hire a guy with one. Lay a bed of what we call here packing gravel or bank run gravel over the trails. Include hills and jumps etc.. Some stumps and trees can be coverd to build the jumps and hills- Snake the trails but include some straight runs. Spread you grinded debris over the trails. This will help keep them in good shape for a while, but not forever.
This is much more work than most relize. I often am called in to finish up for someone who got in over his head. Here in Southern NJ, its $5000.00 a day for the tub grinder and a crew with an excavator and off road dump truck to transport the trees and stumps to the grinder and load and operate it. The cost is worth it, as it goes very quickly. Figure 260.00 a day for your machine, plus your daily salary rate. Include your rental and fuel costs and hire a ground guy to use the chain saw to come up with a weekly rate. The ground guy will cut the stumps off the trees after you dig them and hold the tree with the thumb for him. While you dig the next tree he cuts the previous tree into tub grinder size lengths- usually 8-10 feet, Diamaeter is no concern. Contract by the week- you can get a lot done in a week- and can procede as the owner has the funds. Bring in the grinder only when you are completely finished. Seperate all hard woods and sell them for fire wood. A more informal trail system can be made by just letting the ATV's ride the property and picking the natural paths. Trails will soon develope on there own. Then you can finish them up.
