I never had any such issue. I assembled the tower so the crane operator
could move the boom as he lifted and the bottom of the tower did not drag.

As you lift the tower, it was a lot easier for us having three men to hold
the
guy wires away from the tower as it was lifted.
Have you given any thought to how you're going to move the bottom of tower as
the crane lifts it? We used a small front end loader bucket, there is not
a lot
of weight involved but the bottom will drag the ground until the point where
the crane has the tower section off the ground.
