You need a small bulldozer with 3 point and PTO. Biggest, heaviest rotary cutter you can find mounted on the dozer. Get one that's "rated" for cutting at least 4" stuff. The larger small trees will probably need to be cut w/chainsaw and stump dozed out with bulldozer. Run over the fields enough times with the rotary cutter so that the brush is all finely chopped. I'm recommending the dozer to save the tires on your tractor. You could save the investment on a dozer by using your tractor and accepting the fact that you'll probably need to buy a new set of tires after it's all over. After chopping? Burn? Disc? Rip? And then---planting soybeans. I recommend a No-Till drill like Great Plains, etc. Remember that the combiner is going to be looking at running the header low enough to do a good job. Stumps, rocks, brush, etc., will interfere with that. You could cut off some of the larger stumps flush with the ground and get them later.
