Default HELP: Will a TH3-JR HF beam load on 17m?

I'm butting up a new tower and I'm deciding between the Hy-Gain TH3JR and
the Butternut HF5B.

My tower is 10' from the lot line, so I'm trying to minimize overhang above
the neighbors house. I can park the beam when not in use, so even if the
turning radius is greater than 12', as long as the 1/2 the boom length is
less than 11', I would not be 'parked' over his home.

So, the butternut and the hygain are both smaller antennae, but I would like
to have the WARC bands as well as the typical 20-15-10 combo.

Anyone have some thoughts on this?

PLEASE REPLY HERE. (as the spam is simply too much.)

Thanks!
