Randall, I glad you’ve figured out ways to o make it easier on you and your family. As you well know, the less lifting you have to do the less back pain you have! After 3 back surgeries I’ve finally figured that out. lol
What a GREAT setup. I know there are always things people would like to change to make there setup more productive and it looks like you are well on your way . I also use a Maxant extractor but I am hearing great things about the ones at Hillco. American made and built very well and the prices are VERY affordable and they also are building in house a lot of other new products that looks very nice . Just something to think about next year . Thanks for the update. I hope it all does very well for you. It is great to have family in there working right there with you. Thanks for the update. Thanks Randall
Thanks Randall, I really appreciate and look forward to your video/content. I am particularly interested in your clarifier set up... at the moment, that is my bottleneck. Likely my next purchase for next year's extraction.
I also use the same uncapper. I use a Little Mule frame grip. It is a compound grip. Requires almost no pressure to hold frame. Keeps finger away from the rollers.
How do you minimize the amount of bees you take away form the bee yard when you pull boxes? Do you also have another trick for the ones that end up in your honey warming shed?
Do you freeze your honey suppers before removing moisture? I have a tough time with hive beetles and wax moths if I don't freeze them before extracting honey.
Thanks for the tour. Lots of good ideas. Nice to have the family helping. Thanks for sharing.
Nice setup, we have the Dadant 20 frame extractor and love it. Thanks for sharing.
I mounted mine on a platform with wheels and it takes the wobble. Thanks Randall!

Thanks for taking the time to show us your set up. I’m glad it is working great for you. All your videos have the best info.
Beautiful Family and Awesome Harvest 👌
Awesome video! you can tell you have put a lot of work into your honey house! I bet all of the locals love that honey!

What a great process for all of your honey extraction.
Love the barrel fill with the board. I hope you don’t mind if I use that. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love your honey. Buy several jars every year.
God Bless the family. My wife, daughter and son only help me eat the honey.

Randall very good setup! Can you pass on a link for your lift. I'm assuming it works lifting supers off the hive.
Good video and tips to help make the process easier.
Great video of your setup! What size is your honey extracting building?

Randall, nice job! Where did you get the bigger strainers from? Also, Harbor Freight sells a floor scraper for like $15..longer handle for your wife.
