I have been given a 50 ft Rohn tower (galvanized).
Problem is, I have to get it down. and I have a couple questions.
Weight of each section?
Depends on which type Rohn tower sections are used. Hams generally use
25G or 45G and occasionally 55G.

estimate of a resonable charge to have someone do it for me?
$50/hr. for a semi-pro (part-timer) with a gin pole, the tools and the
experience to do it right safely.
I don't
like climbing
Neither does anybody else!
Is it worth paying 160 bucks to rent a 50 ft cherry picker to do it?
I wouldn't want to take a tower apart from a bucket, it would be very
awkward at best and possibly dangerous.
If I were in your position I'd get in touch with a ham in your area
who knows his way around towers and get him involved.
Thanks
