Personally I think I'd let someone els worry about that gem...
If I was to undertake that I think I'd want an old 7' sickle bar mower and forestry tires on the tractor...
The idea with the sickle bar... is that it won't throw the junk at you at lethal speeds AND so long as you make the first round OK, you at least have some advantage of being able to see what crap is beside you and about to get into the mower. At least you have some chance to see it befor eyou drive on it.

Other option, tho probably not a 'legal' option, and mabey not a 'safe' option is fire.
Plow up or disc a fire break around the perimiter, then set fire to the mess. Burn the grass away, then clean up the junk.

Really, I'd leave it alone. It's not my problem and see no reason to make it my problem. I see a lot of flat tires in your future... and mabey a lot worse... unless he's willing to cover ALL repairs and you trust that you can actually get the money out of him. You could literally do thousands of dollars in damage. Not worth it to me.
