New extractor wanted and opions

[keith pierce]

I was in gormanstown yesterday and there was a giordan 16 frame National/Manley motorised Extractor. I need to upgrade my extractor straight away and was wondering if anyone has used one of these. If not, what extractor do you recommend. I need it to take Manley commercial super frames. And preferably between 12 and 16 frames http://www.thebeebusiness.co.uk/range_extractors.php

Hi Keith,
I just bought one of those.
The wife has used it twice and loves it
She says its easy to use and is well balanced. I may have a go with it this weekend if she lets me.

I wanted that exact extractor but I have both dadant shallows and national shallows.

I couldnt determine if that extractor took both, the guy at Agrinova didnt know either.

Some makes of extractor eg Lyson (sold be Abelo) state their extractors take both

Used the 8 frame version for a while now, very happy with it

A good bit of kit Keith and you'll also find Clive from AgriNova helpful.

I had one custom-made by Giordan to extract 12 x National brood frames radially a couple of years ago. It can also take shallow Commercial, Langstroth etc etc of any size.
