Raising 73 ft tower (was 100 ft) with stacked Channelmaster 4251 dishes
Переглядів 8043 роки тому
Took the top 27 ft section off the 100 ft tower so I could install a larger antenna array. The two horizontally stacked 4251 7’ dishes should almost double the gain on UHF over the single dish that was up there while improving directivity. Added a Funke 1922 long yagi for VHF TV.

Raising a 100 ft tower with a winch on a 35 ft pole.
SUCCESS!
Thats the way i did mine. So easy
@@FrankChurch-wt1jn great minds think alike!
Mine is much smaller but on a winch..
Blits lamp Control old Man , so much Helicopter 500cc
I made a similar setup years ago. It's the most unnatural thing to watch. Video don't do it justice. Great setup!
Nice, I want one!
Thanks!
This is extremely dangerous. I've done it three times. First time went great. Nearly got killed the second time when the tower went over to the side, swung around and crashed. If you are going to do this you need some safety lines off each side of the tower and the pole. Third time went fine with the safety lines. I will probably do it again. Just remember that things can go wrong!
Thank you for your warning to me and anyone else who might try this. You are correct to say that it is quite dangerous and ANYTHING can go wrong. That is why I stand back quite far and use a remote for the winch. I have done it at least 15 times in the five years it’s been up.
Yea it worked but you should have put a rolling snatch-block in and that way you could have pulled from two points. That's a lot of pull on one point. you got lucky. W5GIF
I did add a second snatch block after that first lift. It reduced the cable tension 50% and made the whole operation smoother. Been using it for 5 years now.
How much does a freestanding tower like that cost to purchase?!
Don’t know. I didn’t buy the tower in the video.
nice work having guide wires on the wench post. i considered making an A frame with guide wires to do this as well. i have only helped one person up a tower, it was 70' and pulled from a bumper wench. looked so scary at start with the tension and tower bend. pull point being low seemed so dangerous.
HaHaHa.... *"guide* wires"!!! 😂😂😂
Is this still holding up 5 years later? Jeff. W3AAB
Being at a 100ft tower. Do you need to add guy wires to it?

This was one of the best videos of raising a large tower that I have seen on UTube. My tower is small, 33-foot Rohn tower given to me. I have used my old Ford 4x4 2002 Explorer to raise two towers, but now I have a 5000 lb winch mounted on the rear of the SUV. Both towers are only 3 section Rohn 25G. I like the idea of using the old telephone pole. Using my car with hitch mounted on it has an angle of pull that increases beyond 45 degrees as the tower reaches 45-degree lift point which I do not like. My question is, can you show a close up of how you mounted the winch on the pole, and also the double pulley mounted? This way I can mount the winch VERTICALLY at the base of the pole that I intend to use, and the pull from the winch will be straight line which will make the winch very happy. Thank you Mike. W1REJ
Hook your cable on tower up a few feet
Wish you included a close up of the base of the tower and the swivel method. Just seeing the tower go up does not help in our research on how we will construct ours.
I am willing to discuss what I did.
The video was not intended to be a how to.
Good work. I'm looking at doing this to get a mobile signal at a remote property.
This is a nice tower
Excellent job and video!! I have a very similar tower that I'm wanting to erect in the same way. I am uncertain how big and deep a hole I need and how much concrete I need to support a 100 ft free standing tower. Could you share some information please? Thanks!!
I do not share that information because all situations are different. If you are not sure how to do it seek the help of a professional. A tower this tall is very dangerous to work with. One recommendation I make is to use a remote control winch and get far away.
Look up a Rohn SSV 100 ft tower and see the dimensions for the concrete base . You may not like what you find however
Браво!
I love the youTube Commenters! They just watched 2 tower videos last night and now they are experts.... Like the guy who's gonna put a 100ft tower, with a 60 ft fiberglass pole on top. SMFH Great job! I presume you have a healthy hinge and 10 yards of concrete... That wasn't shown in the video
@@bigdaadio.K2WW I don’t see ur call here.
Wish there was information on how you built the tilting base
You might be interested in ham radio. Just saying.
Let’s see the video of it being lowered and more detail on the base and how it is constructed. Great job
Please make a video with the antennas on the tower . Great job 👍.73 AE4OY William 🦚 EM-81UF
Search for “100 ft tilting tower with dish antenna on top”
Very nice. How much does the tower and winch cost?
How many ropes and where did you attach them?
Two guy wires supporting the winch pole. One steel cable for winch attached 35’ up tower. Two pulleys used to cut load on winch in half. Tower is self supporting, no guy wires.
@@mikeglass376 I know tower is self supporting but since you have the wood pole there anyway, are you using it at all as a safety support for the tower?
@@MaximusAurelius1987 yes, I pull the winch cable snug which adds some support for westerly winds.
I prefer a crank up but you use what you’ve got!
@@mikeglass376 this is definitely safe for total novices: no climbing, no guy wires to snap because you did it wrong. I’m looking at Universal Towers 100 ft tilt tower. I’m going to put a 60 foot telescoping pole on top to get 150 or 160 (depending on how much I have to brace the pole). $5k tower $1.2k 60 foot fiberglass pole $ for guy wires (but not critical to integrity of tower) No $15k labor charge for tower techs.
What is tallest tilt tower you can buy?
How do you get it to go down?
I ran the winch in reverse after tilting it with a Jack.
Now you need a low light intensity on top lol like a L810
My brother in law did put a small blinker on it but not bright enough to be seen very far.
What is the diameter of pipe?
How big is the base?
How do you figure the load on raising cable?
I know this is 3 years old, but a block and tackle would really reduce the load on the winch. cool tower
И ягу поставить на 7мгц))
Sorry, I cannot get a translation.
Found a translation! I do not have a 40 meter yagi to put up on the tower, but that would be impressive!
Sorry, just a "falling arrow" would be easier, I think. In the video - an illustration. ua-cam.com/video/WqbPJHdAJvQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/XYtLszIU2vA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/l1B_n0T7zxE/v-deo.html 73!)
Milford?
100ft - wow - nice ! Hope its still up in 2021 !!!!
Thanks, it’s still up.
Where are you located? I’m in Miami and I need a tower out in the Everglades. Would you be interested in some work?
good job
Thank you
question sir what are the steel (pipe, steel bar and size) that used in the tower, i would like to build one TIA and dimension of the base

@@mikeglass376 thank you sir
Did you use any doubling or extra blocking in the lift process? If not, it might take some extra strain off of your wench, and it can also help keep the tower from bending and warping.
After the first video I did add a second pulley to reduce the cable load by half. You can see it in the later videos.
Can you show the broadcasting you pull in.... i think it would be a great addition to yoour vids
HOW FIF THEY ANCHOR IT?
Of course the wind starts up ! - N2EDY
The best tower
Thanks!
Damn! Beautiful tower!
Thanks, Tim.
What’s the cost and who’s the vendor of that tower? Also. If they install also, what would of been the cost?
It is used and I don’t know who made it. I also don’t know what it would cost to pay someone to install it.
Can you tell me what brand of tower that is and where one might find one?
Sorry, I got it used and don’t know the brand. This one came from a high school that no longer needed it. I have seen towers for sale online, but not too often.
