hi everyone, i currently have a 1.1m dish running on a technomate diseq motor, im on the verge of buying a 1.8m and wondering would my motor handle it, the dish weighs about 6-7kgs max(i think) now the motor says it can drive up to a 1.4m or 20kgs max, my question is why cant i use this motor then?? Please can someone with very good exp give me good advice or has anyone ever tried this?

I personally wouldnt try it,the motor might be able to turn it,but as soon as we have any stong winds,it would rip your motor to shreds,the wind resistance on a 1.8 meter dish would be incredible.
use an actuator,It will be expensive to fit but would e better in the long term -
Are you planning on having this bolted to a wall?Comment

like the others I wouldnt entertain a dish of that size on a diseqc motor you need a 36Volt actuator.what sat/channels are you after?and as asked how are you mounting it,a ground mount is the best way with larger dishes.Its doubtful you will find a 1.8 dish that would fit a technomate diseqc motor anyway.Last edited by dick b; 26 September, 2011, 13:24.Comment

i know a guy who has a 1.8m spun ali dish on a 3 inch pole with 3 very strong k brackets mounted on his house wall but it was installed by professionals and uses a polar mount/jack combo. i wouldnt go above 1.2m with a diseqc motor as heavy winds will rip the entire thing off the wall! if you have to have a 1.8m dish then get it professionally supplied/installed. it will cost a arm and a leg but will give you peace of mind. regards mdtDM800HDSE SIM 2.10.
