We looked into this a couple years ago when we faced installing several 4' & 6' antennas on top of four water towers. After a hard look at it and even giving a try at raising one 4' antenna ourselves (just to see if we could) we quickly decided it was far more economical to hire a tower crew. Those guys are pros and do this kind of thing every day. The planning, rigging and proper evaluation of "what ifs" is what takes the time. The actual raising of the antenna only takes a couple minutes.
Once you factor in all the proper rigging required to safely raise antennas that size up a couple hundred feet without damaging the tower etc, I think you may come to the same conclusion. Three foot antennas are one thing, but once you get to four footers or larger it definitely gets more complicated.
