While I hesitate to promote an "as seen on TV" product, you might want to check out the Weed Thrasher attachement which you can use to replace the basic string trimmer head with a heavy duty one. It's at: http://weedthrasher.com/ I don't know if it really works (I'm sure you can google for reviews), but its only a $15, so it's not a huge investment to find out.
While searching to get the name of the Weed Thrasher, I found an in-depth article that compares the various options at: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/lawn_and_garden/string-trimmer-reviews/fullstory.html They mention the Weed Thrasher, but say it's poorly reviewed and not as universal an attachement as the makers claim. Go down to the bottom of the article for a list of alternative considerations, including the almighty field mower (aka brush trimmer)
You wouldn't need one now, but if the back 40 ever got truly bad, you could look into renting a field mower, like the one seen at http://www.snapper.com/field_brush.html, which is the industrial way to get it done. Renting would be key as these are mighty expensive items.
