I'm wondering what it would take to replace the section of sewer pipe
from my house to the right of way. We have very sandy soil and no
trees in the front yard to be concerned with. I'm thinking it's about
a 30' foot run, but I don't know how deep it is. I'm in western NY
about a mile south of Lake Ontario. The town has already replaced
their section of the sewer with PVC and I'd like to do the same with
mine.

Is this something I could do with a couple of shovels, some help and a
lot of time or is heavy equipment absolutely required?

There might be an alternative not yet mentioned:

It is sometimes possible to insert a liner into an existing drain. The liner
is made of stuff impervious to tree roots and it won't ever crack. Here's an
example of a firm that does that sort of thing:
