I asked this same question several years ago when I was putting up my tower
with a TH-6 on top.
All the info I received from the list was that Rohn 25 will not handle the
stress of folding over the tower. I now have 70'of Rohn 25 tower that is a
non fold over.
Do not even try this it will not work

Subject: [TowerTalk] Guying a tiltover tower
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 19:34:10 +0000
I'm looking at erecting 70' of Rohn 25 with a Pro 67B at the top. This will
have no thrust bearing, and the antenna will be <1 foot above the tower.
I'd like to put up a tiltover, tilting from the base, rather than a
foldover. Towers I've seen that are tiltovers are usually guyed differently
than non-tiltovers. Any suggestions or references about guying?
How about mechanisms for tilting? Anybody have good ideas on how to actually
tilt the tower?
Thanks all
Bob/WF3H
