So getting ready to put this mill up, a star 37, on this tower. But have never seen or used a tower like this. So on the anchors that go in to the ground are there three holes on one side with the small angle iron piece below the main angle iron with two holes?

Looks to me like your missing some pieces on the bottom of your tower, doesn't look complete to me.

If I am seeing it right, some tower X bracing bolts to the leg and anchor at the same time. Some Aermotor towers are like that.

So just standard anchors and then the main tower angle and the x brace just bolt to the anchor leg. Interesting never seen or worked with a tower like this before.

Brandon , yes the cross brace towers are a strange duck Windy is right about the installation to the anchors .

Just my Opinion!! That is one piss-pore design,i don't see any advantage to it.. With out the feet that would seem to be very wobbly. Ok I'm done.

It's very wobbly just laying there it's super easy to bend and twist without trying.
