Porta wrap (large) 3/4 kraken

[Capitalist]

I am taking down the worst removal of my career. It is about 6 ft diameter at the base and I have no idea how tall but it's still 4- 5 ft diameter 50- 60 feet over an overpass and commercial building. When I start rigging that trunk down I am scared I am gonna overload my rig. I dont want to rig short pieces so short they might slip out...

What can I safely set down on this rig? I am using a thimble loopy 3/4 by the way. But its not big enough so should I and could I use rope to lengthen it? I am scared.
I have never felt like this on a tree.

Hmm what's the density/weight on that wood roughly? Is it like poplar

Almost identical to poplar by my log weight calculator

I would take any advice to consideration on removing this trunk safely.

Are you committed to a price?
The reason I ask is a crane would make it a whole lot easier.
Snatching wood that big and heavy is sketchy.
For every foot of drop your dynamic load doubles, so being your close on the weight of your pieces (estimate green chart wise) and knowing what your 3/4” will handle you can stay within your parameters.
It’s still sketchy, but you got this.
Crane would be nice though.

Yes I am locked in at $15k my partener backed out last second and left me on my own. He was supposed to do the rigging and ground crew but got scared.

What kind of a crane would it take to rig this down in 12,000 lb sections? I imagine the cost would be high and I have no crane rigging experience... i wish i knew the cost and what i needed for a crane
