Someone asked if this could be done a while ago ...
Also similar to this ... they have a platform that goes on the forklift that they can use to do work up to about 35 ft over ground. Down here they stack boats in steel racks so these fork lifts are pretty big.

How heavy is the mast anyways?

Apparently $100 cash will get the crane from across the street to come pull the stick.

not too heavy. A person on each end can carry the mast once it is down.

ps - $100 is a good deal. My yard charges $300 "round trip" to unstep and step the mast
