Sticking a motor on a Z2 mini dish for a friend, I checked the mount today and odly is perfectly level, they are only looking 13e/19e/28e, would the little mini dish pole mount be up to holding a motor? they are rather heavy, would be handier for me rather than have to replace all.
 
No, that mount isn't robust enough, for those three sats you would probably get away with an elbow mount though.
 
Not sure which receiver your friend would be using, but have you thought of trying a multiple LNB set up? I wouldn't be easy on a zone 2 dish but would save the bother of fitting a motor and replacing the mount. If you centered on 19E there might just be enough spacing for the other two on either side.
