Here in SC, Lat/Long 34/82 Do you think I could get 148 either on my FTA or with a Dish 300? Or is it too low for me?

I just got the 120cm dish, and put it on my Sm3D12 motor. It's working, but I can see it's straining the snot out of the neck. I just got a new HH120 today to replace.

The SM3D12 is not available from us anymore. The new motor available is the SM3D22
Main differences
SM3D22
Metal Gears inside
Built-in 2-Way DiSEqC switch
SM3D12
Plastic Gears inside
No built-in switch
Both have East/West buttons on the bottom of the casing.
Just to clarify the specs, it is rated to handle up to 27 lbs. (120 cm Aluminum or 95 cm Steel) dish.
