The base that my old dish sat on was 2 metres by 2 metres and 5 inches thick with a solid 90cm pole sticking out of it so i do know it will hold a bigger dish, and yes i am working on a tight budget at the moment
Assuming your base is concrete, you have just under 18 cubic feet in it. According to my calculations for wind load on a 2.4m dish there is sufficient weight of concrete to withstand some strong winds.
Put it like this, if the king post, mount and dish are secured in place correctly to the base then they aint going anywhere.
Good luck with the project.
