I recommend 40 ft for a low tribander.
I would NEVER put up R25 without guys
or some other means of support (house bracket).
For a NO GUY installation, you would be better off
with a tapered tower having a wide base. Heights
and Universal make tapered Aluminum towers.
The HDBX series Rohn towers use pressed steel
vertical members and X bracing.
