Looks to be just over 200 lbs.

That's the same thing I say when I see myself in the mirror!

I have a Unimesh 10 footer and I was able to toss the dish up on the mount by myself, I don't think I'd try that with a 12 footer tho....

To be clear, the weights in the PDF are likely the reflector and the mount assembly combined together, probably in a ratio between 50/50 and 60/40, respectively.

the antenna is this, a few days ago it was brought to its EAST limit then from there it would not move and with a lot of effort and with external help to push the disk was finally brought back to the center, for this reason we are thinking of making a counterweight to balance the movement
thanks
