I have the same tower on the same base. It was a pain to get the sections together. I used a come along to pull my pieces together after my wife and I lined them up and my dog helped too.

Hello 👋🏻 hope you all are doing well!! I miss seeing you all on your videos

Awesome anthem, from Australia

Piece of wood on the dynamic end and not the static end would have worked better. I had the same issue where some of the galvanized coating is thicker and makes it difficult. Beating on the fixed or static end does little good

Im sure someone else has already pointed out that all tilt towers are suppposed to be guyed or bracketed. But I'll do it again.

I know I'm late to the party.... I take down 25G towers monthly and have put a few together... Nice tower, a few thoughts on video and advice for others. Grease and PB Blaster help.. forcing that one section at the end will be a pain when it comes time for removal in 20-30 year. 1. So for anyone else putting up towers, please grease the ends with something thick that wont wash off easily. (if you are fighting it, realign) 2. please don't DRILL or make the holes larger, Rohn has a standard of two sizes per leg and everything is engineered expecting those bolts. If the holes don't line up, adjust the 3 legs and use a NAIL PUNCH or screw driver to help align them. 3. Strap tighten.. please be careful when pulling on the cross members, I've climbed many towers that have bent or even missing rungs because of install abuse. If you have to use a strap, something is not lining up, sometimes sections just may not fit and you swap it for different one. If you do need to tightening please use axle straps around the main legs several times to shift the torque to the strongest piece of the tower. 4. bolts should match the tower, if rohn thats Grade 5 Galvanized. Stainless it nice but has mild corrisions issues (nice bolts, rusted tower). 5. Passive anode protection, 1 1/4in ID magnesium anodes will prevent rust for decades and extend tower life if done early or at construction. my 2 cents and advice, Ken KN4MDJ

Nice tower. Where did you buy it? The shipping cost is ridiculous from what I’ve seen.

A 2x4 to pound against across the top rungs of the new section is the way I've done it.

Love the dog, very playful. If you had put Vaseline on the joints, would have went together much easier.

Dang missed your live

Nice seeing you do a live Ryan👍👍😎

the other neighbor can hear you lol. looks like it was fun

its working

Maybe rub the inserting ends with a wax candle to get'em to slide easier?

Couldn't you use a little grease on the legs to make this easy-eeerrr?

Take the end blue bucket out Get at the end and wiggle the tower section up and down and back and forth. Use some wd40 if needed.

100% better!

Hi Ryan I changed that valve on my truck 2020 Kenworth t680 and still doing the Same thing any ideas?

Hello from Minnesota!

I’m sure there was an OSHA violation here

Heart healthy salt. Always get an onion burger. You blinded me with science!!!

Great to see you putting out a video.

Hey Ryan & Ashley! That cleaned up nicely.

Stay safe😊

Lol I got anxiety just watching 😅

Good job Ryan 👏 you could put some vinegar, baking soda & dishwashing liquid & leave it overnight then scour it the next day like how u get off that hard rust

Nice seeing Oreo & Gidget ❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾

Ok, I give you this much 🤏🏻 props. Haha! Looks better

Hello Ryan & Ashley, So glad to see you both..have a great week🤗🤗😍😍

Second 😅😅

Who is this guy 🤦🏻‍♀️😂… ohhhhh but plenty of pepper is okay huh? 😂 …. I am NOT sure of your method Ryan. BEWARE people! 😂

I just put my 40ft Rohn 25g tower together yesterday It wasn’t fun either as I greased the legs and had to use a ratchet strap to force them together. Now I have to figure out how to tilt it up. KE5MUG

That why my tower going be tilt and rotor on bottom.

❤❤ I'm proud to be an American..God bless the United States of America 🇺🇸 my great home ❤❤

Hi , Always use a Safety Belt / Harness just one false move and you could regret it for many a long day , Nice work good video enjoy your hobby Thanks

Rohn 25, no guy wires......wow

That should be guyed!! Also, coax seal on that PL-259 being pulled up! Nice tower.

Using a "come-along" and a small bottle jack to help align the legs works well.

Hope you coated the legs with anti-seize before sliding them together. I have built and torn down many towers and doing this makes taking them apart much easier.

I fell your pain, I assembly and disassemble an antenna tower for a emergency command post quite often and haven' found an easy way yet.

Thanks Ryan, Roger & Shannon ❤❤❤...Love you alll 💯💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Ryan, I could see my and Roger in that watermelon 🍉 patch I believe we could definitely eat our fill lol 😂, Ryan u have a really nice place, nothing better than living out in the countryside. Thanks Ryan and Ashley I really enjoyed your video 👍🏻. From Kentucky 😊.
