The four tower legs will bolt to the top frame.After the lower frame with legs are cemented in the ground will hook the tower frame to it with the hinge pins and then install the gear box, wheel, and tail and raise it with my tow rig with winch. Once up will bolt the two frames together. I only have done this with 33ft towers and smaller. No problems so far !!
