I'd like to keep it under 5k for the time being if possible but dont want to buy equipment that will be made redundant over a small timeframe.How much is your budget?

I dont think I'd buy a loosener straight off the bat. Need an extractor, a table and a method for uncapping.Heather loosener is €3800 ex vat so would make a fair dent in it
Thanks for the heads up. I've read a couple of reviews about this one and think I'm more likely to go modular.Google thomas beekeeping its on page 119 of catalogue, its called tetra plus. Theres probably more old Thomas equipment knocking arounD with old beefarmers than any other.
Yes. I think that's probably what I will go for.Have a chat with Damien at Abelo's...the beauty of all their extracting kit is it's modular..Buy one bit then add on as you need..
Just sold my hand cranked 100 litre apple press with a view to buying a hydro press, so that's definitely on the cards!!Much as I would love a "proper" heather loosener..they are way way too expensive for my operation. I just resign myself to loosing all the heather honey frames.....and then worry all winter that I won't have enough drawn super frames...and (as usual) by the end of May realise all my new undrawn foundation frames have now been drawn and filled with honey....
Processing heather honey, anything not used for cut comb goes into my hydropress...brilliant bit of kit...different sizes to suit different needs. This one cost about £500
