That winch is way too small. I have a 12 volt 8000lb wench to tilt over my  
472 (double line), and it is just barely able to safely do the job. 
Although the  2000 lb winch might lift it into position, it will not hold it at 
an 
angle,  or be able to stop it on the way down. It will just spool all of the 
cable off  and slam your tower into the ground. Let me know if your 
experience  differs.
