Hokay, so it looks like I've found the most consistent way to do this so far.
This has taken alot of trial and error to figure out the most efficient way to do so, but I'm sure if I had another giant gen set to scrap I could do it in 4-6 hours. So here's what I'm working with - should be done stripping it by the weekend.
I cut one side of the outer ring with an air hammer. Then, I peeled a few strands from the inner layer and put tension on them with the crane. The large pry bar is used to pull the stands OUT and tear them through the casings (pulling straight up did not work). I'm almost done all the inner bundles, and once that's done I'll use the same process on the outer ones. Hopefully I'll be sitting on a new giant pile of copper by the weekend.
Thanks for the help so far, everyone! Will update when everything's on the ground.
