   A simple $20 bolt cutter will make short work of the wire, as well as the vines.

   chain link usally is  just unwound. but you will probably have a tough time doing that if it has stuff growing in it. i would just get some good wire cutters and cut it into smaller pcs and pull it.

   this is a oppurtunity for americas funniest video,never know what will happen with a chain,a truck, fence and underbrush. good times

   if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?

   Rent a Lowes/Home Depot truck and use the chain.  Your car doesn't have enough A** to pull. 

   I have had to do this twice with my own truck and it really is the best way to go.  once was as a favor to a neighbor and the other was b/c the fence encroached on the property line on a house I was closing that week (the owner had 3 weeks to remove/move it and didn't)

   Even with the bolt cutters, you still have to remove it from the area.  just make sure you cut the attachments to the posts before you start to tug.

   Slow way is to use "BRUSH BE GONE" or likewise type  woody vine killer......   spray the vines a few times.   Wait for them to die.  Yank out sections of the chain link fence.

   The chain link fence can be taken apart by un-twisting a single strand every 10 feet or so.  Also the chain will cut rather easily with one of those two-position slip pliers that has a cutter in the lowest area of the jaws.  I've even cut chain link with an average Leatherman utility pliers.

   You might have troubles getting rid of the fence with vines attached.....   your garbage carter or local dump might not take mixed materials.

   To kill the fence you need bolt cutters. Is it possible to just cut the vine at the ground? Then you could haul it all away.
