I found used Rohn 45 locally for less than $100 per 10' section.

Cranes must be a lot cheaper where you live. Based on what friends have
spent locally on crane service, two trips up the tree will cost more than
the tower. Plus, I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy. Not because I'm cheap.
Anyone who knows me would never accuse me of that. I simply find
satisfaction in knowing how and being able to do things myself. I must
admit though, that it is getting easier to delegate tasks to others as I get
older :)
