At 4/5 of the height the second set of 4 hooks.
4 + 4 = 8.
In this case, it does not seem to me that you can count that they will redistribute the forces in a way equivalent to their expected tensile strength!
Furthermore, for them to hold 8 tonnes, they would all have to be on the same side ... Then there is a considerable loss due to the angle of the cables in relation to the mast (they would actually only be 1 tonne if they were perpendicular to the axis of the mast) finally, your wind turbine will rotate according to the wind direction, at best there will be only one cable which will take all the efforts (but on a few hundred kilos) , at worst, the wind turbine will be between two and then it will do very little!
It's just a modest opinion. And the more I brainstorm, the more I tell myself that as long as we don't know the resistance to the constraints of the mat, we talk a little in a vacuum.
