A T2X should be fine and more than adequate. I've had one on a KT34XA plus
402CD for 3 or 4 years now with no problems at all...other than the usual
problem with a sticky brake everyonce in a while.
W3LPL has used them to turn 48 foot boom 5 el 20's....they dont like it, but
they do work....for a while :)
