I tried to answer earlier, but Charter failed and the Internet has been 
down most of the afternoon. You've probably discovered it by now, but 
these are in Texas. All the lots I looked at used a 2"ball.  Nothing on 
the license, bu there's contact info. I'd assume (which is never safe) 
that they will require a trailer license.  I'd get one from my own state.

Looking at the info, they are all 50 ft, 3 section towers for broadband 
which to me indicates they "probably" wouldn't handle a big wind load.  
They "look like" any good 3/4 ton and up pickup truck could haul one, 
but that contact info is there.

They "look like" a good set up for a club on FD (small 3 and 4L 
tribanders, rotating dipoles, and VHF antennas?)

My son has a big GMC pickup and has been hauling some good size boats 
from New England To Fl, so I could get him to bring one up, but from GA 
to TX, to MI would not be cheap.
