I recommend the Orion 2800 or Yaesu 2800.  The latter may be a tad
lightweight, but should do fine.  If you want overkill, there are larger
capacity units from Pro-sis-tel and Alpha-Spid.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Big rotators

I'm kicking around idea right now for my relocation out to KH6...if I ever
get to go.  Right now the MonstIR for 40 is looking pretty good.  One
problem...it is a beast with about 23 sq ft of wind load.  I've always been
a T2X guy, but that rotator would be beaten to death by this one.
 
Any idea for a rotator gutsy enough to handle this, besides a  prop-pitch?  
No HDR-300s please.
