    my cousin and i took down 2 similiar towers in my home town 3 years ago. we started at the bottom.we cut it out in 2 x 4 pieces we went up about 20 feet then just kept moving around it. once we got a little over a quarter of the way around it we hooked a chain to the top of it.we were very careful while we were working we actualy taped a yard stick to a post and fixed it to the opening to make sure it wasnt slowly moving. when we got about ten feet from half way we started gently putting pressure on it with a tractor .it wouldnt move till we were a little ways past half way. it worked very well once we cut enough away from the bottom we pulled it down with an old ford tractor.it didnt crash or fall it creaked and moaned and slowly bent down. it took us a lot less time to do the second one.we were really scared on the first one cause every old man in town had stopped at least once to tell us we were going to get killed . and we weree very gun shy.the second one came down a lot quicker.if you have any questions pm me if i can help i will
