Ditto on that here.  I used a T2X to turn a 4el SteppIR and Optibeam OB2-40. 
I wasn't aware that I shouldn't try to turn it in the wind.

The first rotator starting showing signs of trouble after 4 or 5 months and 
had to be replaced after about 18 months.  The new one has been up there 
about a year now and its as good as new, but this time I've been very 
careful not to turn it on windy days.

73,
Tom, NI1N
