Would you say this tree is too dangerous to climb and dismantle

An explanation of why you're being slightly snide will cover it.

Because I think you are a slightly autistic smug twat. 

 

Does that suffice?

A tractor and 8 tonne winch is the safest method.

It's in woodland, can you not just fell it, even into enough tree and then winch it out.

This one ash tree has a heavy lean towards the road along with all weighted limbs on the road side as well making it very uneven, and then to follow it also has a large split up 50% of the tree and visible from both sides.

That looks like a "hazard beam crack" and while it may not affect the stability of the tree for climbing if I were felling it I would be mindful of that crack compromising the hinge if it runs down, especially the way ash will often split. It's half way to a barber chair already.

would it be better to just use a MEWP to dismantle from road side as has easy access.

 

As others have pointed out, you'd be hard pushed to justify why you skipped past using a MEWP on your Hierarchy of Controls if there's good access for using one on a clearly structurally compromised tree.

@TreecisionJp Remember to check for bats too, that crack is a potential roost feature. Can you leave a spar standing with the crack in it? Looks like it could be far away enough from the road.

I can check for bats and @AHPP can get it down. 19th of June also suits me - £600 + VAT

I had the good manners to not say bats.

Thought similar. But... I'd be interested to see a site sketch map. From the photos, it looks like a MEWP would be sat in the road. I'd feel safer in that tree than in a MEWP in a road lane, protected by plastic cones from the absolute retards you encounter on the roads in their 50 mph, 1000 kg darwinism boxes.

 

Correction: I wouldn't just feel safer. I'd be safer.
