Check the local rental places.  I noticed a neighbor with a rental lift 
which he was using to trim trees. It had a chair section on the top with 
controls.  It was not suitable to get to my tower (68') but the 40' foot 
would probably be fine.  It was on a trailer so the transportation was not 
too bad.
