If you're questioning if a rotator is big enough it probably is not.  You
will be money ahead by buying the Yaesu G-2800DXA, it is a very nice
rotator.

I purchased a used Force 12 EF-420/240N and plan to reassemble it this fall
and 
be ready for the big contests this winter.  I'll be putting it on a 72' US 
tower that goes down to about 22'.  I didn't get a lot of paperwork with it,

about 4 pages of drawings and dimensions, and am guessing that is
everything.  
Once a company goes out of business it gets tough to find anything on an 
antenna and was wondering if there were more resources that I just can't
find.  
I'd appreciate any help especially anyone experienced with this model.  It 
weighs 140 lbs and is my first big beam.  At this point of the sun cycle I 
think I'll really enjoy 40m.  I plan to use Nolox or anti-sieze on all
joints.I 
got it for about a tenth of it's original price so I couldn't resist.  I
only 
have a G800 for a rotor and was wondering if a G1000 was good enough or
should 
I go up to the G2800?  Thanks for all comments...  Russ   K5ZZR
