I'm looking for some help setting up a tower stand for this upcoming season. I'm planning on building a tower stand that has a base of 4x8' feet that will either be 4 or 8 feet tall. The tower stand will also be 15-20 feet off the ground. My question is this, what size wood legs would you use? Would a 4x4" be enough?

My second question is how do you go about standing the tower up? Other than sheer man power, I have a skid steer available to help.

4x4s should work. I would build it on site with either a power converter or a generator. That is a lot of high weight to mess with unless you have a big lift that will handle it.

The build site is only a 1/2 mile from home, so I might just build it originally, disassemble it and rebuild on site.
