The hack, slash and dig (the roots) is what worked here also. Keep in mind, even a missed leaf (let alone a cut off vine or stem) will happily root, even months later. Everything cut/dug must be burned.
I did discover that the cut vines happily form easily managed "balls" when raked into small piles. Using the rake, "rolling" the collected piles, formed into natural bundles - and like velcro, they collect their friends along the way. These mat like bundles are easily transported to the burn pile.
