Indeed the crane sounds like the best option for you TreeStyle.

You could be doing the best take down in the world and have the cutomer cheering, but put one crack in their driveway and that is all they will remember, you cracking their driveway.

If you do still attempt to rig down the big sections, I would suggest a series of half hitches to a timber hitch oposed to a running bow. When putting in the final back cut, make sure your two TIPS are above your sling/topping strop, so in the event that the strop went sliding, it's only gunna gaff you out(where your second TIP will grab and save you).

Tree Machine, love the chopstick idea, I'm going to use this from now on... I was only recently thinking about this too... :P
