If you want the best, Heights out of Pensacola is it. I once lowered a
110 foot heights
by running a rope from the middle over a tree limb and then to my
little tractor.

Cut the leg of the tower in line with the rope, and pushed and pushed
and pushed.

Fortunately, K4PI was there and we had attached a "pull" rope about 50
feet up. We BOTH
had to pull on the rope as hard as we could to even start the tower
coming over.

Then it was just a matter of backing up the tractor until the tower
was level.

What inpressed the hell out of both of us was when the tower was 90
from vertical, it was straight as an arrow! And the other two legs
never broke.

Still got that ole baby, but it's shrunk to a little over 70 feet now.
