Call all the distributors large and small and beg and plead for one that's from last season or before last. Just maybe they have one they can give you a deal on. I would not hesitate any longer on this as spring is here now and it will be very difficult to find any winter deals. I stepped up and bought an electric one last season. I priced around and compared quality and am very pleased with mine. They are a pleasure to deal with, customer service is top notch. http://www.maxantindustries.com/extractors.htmlOf course if new is not in your budget now, perhaps one of our members will have a deal for you. Best of luck! ...JP |

did you get the 20 frames?
It is a little pricey, but Idon't want to buy one and then just outgrow it in a year.
I figured by time next year I will have about 14 to 18 hives...
This year I am shooting for 140# out of each of six hives, and possible eight to ten nucs

Yes, I did get the 20 frame and love it! However, the 9 frame electric is a lot of machine and gets the job done for way less.

JP,
I've been looking at the 9 frame extractor as well. Isn't it really a 6 medium frame or 3 deep frame extractor though? I run all deeps and would love a 9 frame that can run those radially!

That is correct. Yep, most people run medium supers, so a 20 frame Maxant would be for 20 mediums and 10 deeps. ...JP |

The Dadant 20 frame ext. holds 20 deep frames. Dadant and Maxant are both top quality machines.

Nice price! See if they offer heavy duty legs. I opted for them with mine. The extra weight makes it very stable. ...JP |

I bought this one last year for another beek and he never picked it up. It is still in the original box. I have never opened it. You can have it at last year's price of 885.00 if you want it. I can either ship it freight collect or get a freight cost and you can prepay it. http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com/18-Frame-Power-Radial-Extractor-w_Baldor-motor/productinfo/801A/ |

Mannlake has one for $999
Are those OK?
I bought a Mann Lake 18/9 motorized extractor last year and I was not impressed with it at all, it just felt cheap and I had nothing but problems with it. One of the biggest of them being that the even with the speed controller, I could not get it to spin slow enough. It was either off, or running at an rpm that was too fast. I use deep frames with wax and wire foundation, so I wanted it to spin as slow as possible at the start due to the weight of the frames with honey in it, but even on its slowest setting, I blew frames out. So IMHO I would not recommend this extractor. |

Look at the Maxant. USA made at an old, family owned business that still believes in quality.
