Honey extractors, still looking

[wightbees]

Tried to phone one on the mainland but don't answer the phone ,so gave up.
Looked at the ones in umm th*rne* About £304 for a nine frame manual which for me works out at 6 frames and the 4 frame ends up being 2 frames.

I have thought about a import but can't seem to find anything.So i thought i
would ask here Can you supply links please or pm them if not aloud to link.
Not wanting to go mad with the Penny's but i know i have to be realistic

I am looking for a 4 frame plus , so ideas please.

I have just bought a 4 frame tangential from Nat Bee supplies - they had them in stock (rather than a 3 week wait - which is what some other suppliers are quoting) and for a stainless one seemed to be about right on price (£245 ish)

 

[wightbees]

Thanks but i don't think that dadants will fit to well.

Im also on the look out asap for an extractor. T*****s waiting list is three weeks on all the range.

Talked to Clive at agri nova he's bringing two extractors round end of the week so i can have a look. The price on the web site is wrong, the electric model is £740.

I run commercial supers and im struggling to find an extractor that will take commercial manley frames.

"Talked to Clive at agri nova he's bringing two extractors round end of the week so i can have a look. The price on the web site is wrong, the electric model is £740. "

unless clive has decided to take advantage of the massive demand recently with a price doubling then i think you have been quoted for another giordan model (proper electric motor rather than drill) which agri-nova are going to start supplying.

that would explain the need to bring TWO for you to look at - the cheaper (like mons ab uses) and the more expensive.

 

[Foxylad]

He's bringing two because im gong to look at the manual model as well. Both extractors are 8 frame.

Will give him a call today, try and confirm prices.

Foxy - the drill driven one is definitely worth looking at, loads cheaper than the proper motorised version.

 

[Foxylad]

Got in touch with Clive today, he said he was back logged till next week.

Prices for the hand driven one is £400.

Drill driven is £425

Full electric with its own motor is £725

He said he would bring a couple to look at end of next week.

I got a hand-driven 8-frame radial from Clive. FWIW, I've found it a nice product at a reasonable price from a nice bloke.

I'm waiting for my Giordan manual extractor from Clive later this month. He offered good advice before I placed the order. So far so good!

I'm with Monsieur Abeille as above. The drill driven Giordan works like a dream. However the prices have shot up. Just looked at my invoice from December 2010, and I paid £340. Clive's service is excellent.
