Looks like plenty of room for a MEWP to me, away from the direction of fall should it fail.

MEWP? and what would that be in American english? A crane? I have a crane available and would have loved to use it on that tree. No access for that 30 ton Kenworth unfortunately.

As yes, I've brought those in, but I don't know of one tall enough to be helpful for that tree.
