[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1087820, member: 176704"] The TD110 without packaging weighs 11kg - not 18kg [URL='http://www.systemsat.co.uk/solid-satellite-dishes/triax-td110-satellite-dish-pole-mount-fitting-110cm.html']Triax TD110 Satellite Dish & Pole Mount Fitting 110cm[/URL] FWIW, that works fine on an Alsat Superior Dark Motor (or similar clone) - although you might occasionally have to slightly adjust a small screw (behind a hole with a "Do not remove, voids warrantee" label over it!) to reduce the "backlash" (and so stop it over-shooting when moving between satellites) Thus it might make a lot of sense to buy another motor that can carry a heavier load, and thus give you a wider choice of dishes. BTW: I would not put a large dish and motor on that ""J" bracket, unless you put a support pole underneath it, because it will bend/flex under the weight - and so you will need something stronger and more rigid.
