I'll second that request... A tractor is a nifty, useful thing, but I got some pretty sweaty palms pulling the tower up in front of the 20+ people who came to my erection party. I see a winch and pulleys in my future.

I use a 12V winch designed for pulling boats onto trailers. Pulls about 3000 pounds, nylon webbing rated over 4000, I normally also push the mast from the back as well until it is past 45 degs.
