All terrain cranes and their limitations?

Lots of very good ideas and certainly very interesting. I love the challenge of something like this, and it's surprising the lengths I'll go to to avoid chainsaw milling on this scale. Rather fresh in my mind is that the only other tree that I have milled from that field was so hard that it broke my chainsaw mill (sheared cast aluminium) and an upper section on the bandmill would barely cut on about a 15" cut width and a fresh band.

 

Here are a couple of pictures of the trees. The first one is the larger one. I'm 6ft 8" and my head comes up to the top of the lower left branch. The second one is just a touch smaller.
