You survived the the experience, Your smarter now, more experienced, a melted rope that's nothing, You and your excess is still intact that's the main thing...I bet you slept well that night..and how was your feet and legs after a day like that?? looking forward to seeing your video.

All The Best

Plenty of useful info said here, ill add the obvious that can some times be unthought of. The way i do it is simply the easiest most effective way it can be done. Its completely up to you and your calculations. Work out the job in different scenarios - A crane and all that goes with it, be careful as im sure you know with costs but also note the length of job and small manual labor required. With your crew, depending on your gear and equipment and time available. Subing it out, you do nothing but take a cut off the top.

Even a combo of both, like take all branches off down to trunk no longer handleable then all you will need is a small crane or even a hiab truck puls they can lift it streight into the bin and take it away, takes a hour or 2 at most. Here they used with extreem success.

Jim makes a great point, be imaginative in working out your plan of attack, the skip or bin option is very time friendly...Eric has a vid of using one with a franna somewhere....factor it into your price and it can make a long tedious job quick and painless.
