Title: My new extractor
Post by: RZRBCK BEE on April 24, 2012, 04:14:28 PM
Just got my new 18/9 frame extractor from Mann Lake. Pretty excited now. Also received 11 more medium supers to add to my list. Hope I can fill them all.

Yeah the motor would be nice but just couldn't seem to justify the extra money at the present time. LOL

Very nice unit.  I had a 2-frame reversable hand crank for my first 4 years and loved it for 3 years when I outgrew it.  I figured the motor wouldn't save me that much time until I had 22 supers to harvest.  I realized then I was very wrong and completely upgraded to radial and electric.  Your unit is big enough and radial to be able to be converted to electric later on is so inclined.  Enjoy your new toy!
