Hello Steve,

Removal of a  "120 ft 25g tower down with a crane" would be of significant risk 
of structural  damage (buckling and/or twisting), end result.

According to Rohn specifications, that tower type is guyed every 28 - 32', 
dependent on overall height and wind loading's.

If you want to save the tower sections, the best way of minimal structural 
damage is one section at a time.


Thanks n 73,
James
