hi m8
Its better to ask people you will purchase your dish from.They know better about the polar mount and motor type.

orse m8, I think you are pushing it with an H/H mount especialy if it is a wall mount.
If your mount is the heavy duty jaeger 1224 supermount you might stand a bit of a chance.
If it is the jaeger 99 or 128 it is not up to the job.
If it is a ground mount and in a shelterd position from the wind i suppose you could risk it but with a dish that size you would be much better with a actuator arm and polar mount.
One windy day somebody might be reporting that they have seen a flying saucer flying across the skies.
Sorry m8

Thanks to all for the info -You've been a great help!! 8)
where's the best place to get a supermount from -any idea of what to expect to pay?
Where do most people who use this board buy their gear from? Cams dishes mounts etc? ??

hi m8
its not easy to answer your last one.Depends on where we originate so there are many sources to get/buy things from.I get whatever i need from our mother company(biggest in Scandinavia).I dont even pay most of gear since i test them,before we release them to the market.And when i buy so price is much much under market price.For example:A 85 cm dish with 0.3 lnb(gold master _it works as good as invacom(almost)):300 sek.
'i hope its your answer concerning me.
regards
