And after the tower has been up for a month, is it a new tower or a used tower?  And how long does it need to be up for it to be a used tower? Month, year, decade?   Just like all "new" cars that drive out if the assembly plant are cars that now have "used" parts.  How long does it take for the parts to go from new to used?  I don't know.  My point is there is NOTHING wrong with putting up a "used" tower, and they are NOT a dumpster fire as long as the tower sections are inspected and are in good shape for re-assembly. That is my point and I am sticking to it. :)

Your comment was "ALL towers in use today are used towers."  Which I pointed out, is incorrect.  If brand new manufactured tower sits on the ground, in a shed, in a garage, wherever, for over a month, a year, 5 years, 10 years, it's still a new tower.  Or is that incorrect by your definition?

According to you, the same is true with any vehicle.  Any vehicle that has more than 0.1 miles on the odometer is used.  Therefore, every vehicle is used, and car dealers are not selling new cars.  They are all selling used cars, correct?  Find a vehicle on a "new car dealer" lot that has 000000.0 miles.

This is the guy I was thinking of. It looks a little too spindly for me.

I think this sort of push up would work well for say light weight wire antennas like inverted v dipoles and the such.  I wouldn't put real weight on it with yagis and the sort.
