well if this is the case you might be better off just hiring someone to come in with a dozer and grader to grade and level the entire yard for you so you can decide where the rain runoff drains to and get everything flat and smooth.
i had a friend do this in hammond and her yard looks amazing now. it cost her right at $5k for a 200x250 ft yard and hers was a huge mess with high and low spots and even included the backfill dirt and removing some small trees

OP has 10 acres… Luckily the math isn’t directly linear. Also, as you mentioned dirt + tree removal costs more.
OP, if you don’t have equipment, you’re gonna have to hire it out. Simplest and cheapest is a tractor or skid steer with some combination of disks, tiller, or Harley rake and a land plane/leveler. Con to this is that it’s gonna take a lot longer, particularly if you need a lot of material moved around.
A dozer is relatively cheap per hour for the amount of work they can do. If you want some of the hills knocked down, a dozer can make quick work of that in no time, but not great at soil prep (eg for planting grass).
Typically looking at $1000-1500/day for dozer work depending on distance and fuel cost. Skid steer and tractor is a good bit cheaper, but won’t move material nearly as well.
