That does sound like a mess. Don't let my dad come help you, he'd bury the tractor! He's got experience doing that. LOL

Have you thought about chemicals to kill the undesirable vegetation then planting some native marsh type grasses and plants that would spread? Those would be pretty low maintenance. You might even qualify for some sort of cost share at the NRCS office for "wetland" protection.
