Right. As a matter fact, it's rare that the salvage/resale value of
*any* tower is higher than the professional insured labor to remove it,
unless there are valuable appurtenances that go along with it.

With the cost of the lift and the time involved to remove and transport, and you'll
only end up with 3 usable sections, providing the others aren't damaged. Is it
worth it.
Just my opinion.

Hello Oh Wise Gents!I have the opportunity to obtain a 40, (38), foot Rohn 25G for free.
But I will have to take it down. I have no idea how long it's been in the air but I would
guess many years.The bottom section has TWO splits, one per leg, where it must have
frozen and ruptured, so no climbing it. I'm considering a rented man lift to take each
section off.So my question is "generally speaking", how difficult is it to
separate the sections? Considering that I'll use a gin pole and a tower jack
installation/removal tool.The antenna that is up there is what looks to be a VHF
commercial ground plane, so no real weight was up there.
I know this is a leading question, but I'd like a little insight as to what I'm
up against.What tricks does the experienced guys here have to suggest?Thanks
much!!!Tom
