(wish I knew your name):
Please don't fall. Follow the tower manufacturer's advise. If you
bought a used tower without documentation, ask us for additional help.
If we knew the type tower, we might be able to help.
I don't know what self-mix concrete is, but it doesn't sound like
3000 psi tower-rated concrete. There is much to know about this
subject. Don't "play it by ear".
