I used 4 sections of rohn 45 to slide the tower on.
And a lawn tractor to pull it.
Some rope, a large pinch bar and a come-a-long pulled it into position to
raise it.
I needed no outside help.

> But how do you move around 1600 pounds of tower lying one foot off the
ground....

When we did mine 10 years ago as I remember we used 3 or 4 inch PVC pipes
and rolled it on them.
Yes, I know it is amazing that stuff is strong in compression.  2-3 strong
men to help.  Use a crowbar to help it along.  We moved it maybe 30-40 feet
in about a half hour over uneven ground (but no hills !).
