[TowerTalk] Taking down a tri-ex LM354

[Jeff DePolo]

If you can get a wheeled vehicle near the tower, I'd suggest a lull
(telehandler).  Even a small one will reach well above your 10-foot
midpoint, and 1000 lbs is nothing.  Not only will it get the tower down for
you, but you can then drive the tower out to the flatbed or whatever is
going to be used to transport it.  Renting a small lull for a day is pretty
cheap, around $200 in this area.
