High towers are set using the following simple thinking: Dig a slot on the side of the hole where the pole will lay so that the but of the pole can be tilted into it if it was lifted 6' high at the tip end. Put a 5/16X4" eye bolt in the top of the pole. Take two 3/8" poly ropes about 50' long, and tie a knot at 30 feet from one end of each. Thread the rope long end into the Eye bolt from opposite ends so the knots catch in the eyebolt and cannot pull through. Park two vehicles, or ground anchors to ether side of the post hole so that they can be used as anchors to prevent the pole from tipping sideways. lift the pole as high as the loader will take it from the tip end. Block it up at that point, then use the loader from the other side to pull it verticle. it will slide into the hole. If yoy have the help, it is best to have them adjust the tension on the guide ropes as it is lifted. When it is up, pull on the short end of the ropes to pull them out of the eye. JimN
