I did this with a Tristao MA-40 with a TH-3jr on top.  It
worked perfectly.  I mounted the house bracket for the
tower on the side of the house next to a second story
window so I could unbolt it easily by just reaching out
the window.  Highly recommended if it works in your
situation.  I put a pulley on the house bracket and
located the winch on the ground.
