Maxant 20

[BerkeyDavid]

Even though this is somewhat repetitive of what is on some other threads, I just wanted to report how much I love my Maxant 20 frame extractor. I had been using an 18 frame Mann Lake for a number of years owned by my buddy, but this year went out and got it. I was really pleasantly surprised not only by the price but the service too.
This thing is really built well, the reel is solid and I am very happy with it. You can crank it up, adjust the speed, and get much higher speeds with less vibration. I got the heavy duty leg kit.
For what its worth.

I've extracted about 350lbs of honey with mine this year and was very happy with it also. It sit in storage for about 3 months before I could use it and I was like a kid with a new sled just waiting for some snow. This is one purchase I'm sure to never regret. I almost ordered a smller one then decided I was going to try to expand every year for a while and thought maybe I better go ahead and get the 20 frame and am very glad that I did. A new site opened up for me so I will be doubleing the amount of hives I now have come spring and will need the out put that the 20 will provide.:D

[MAXANT]

I have to make one correction. Change "many,many years" to "Lifetime" They are built that well, and right here in Massachusetts to boot.

My Maxant 20 is great.

Maxant Rocks!! We just completed our first extraction using the 20 frame. Great quailty of materials and construction - and made in the US of A!
Now, if they only made a capping basket to fit.........

You guys are really moving me towards a Maxtant 3100w/power for my ~12 hives.

Going to get a extractor this winter and Maxant is on the list of my finalists.

Does anybody (expecialy maxant) do off-season or scratch/dent sales this time of year?

[NowThen]

We extracted with our 1400P last night. As this is our 1st year, we had only enough for one load. I bought this used in September and MAXANT set me up with a manual. I mounted it on a base made of 4 x 4s and 3/4" plywood. The extractor worked like a charm. It's a bit chilly in Minnesota now, so I brought the full icing pail into the house and it smells soooo good. Tastes great, too!

Scratch and dents are very rare, BUT they might happen once or twice. Shall I go out in the shop tomorrow and accidentally drop one off the roof? :D

Well if one falls down the staircase of somthing, shoot me a message. I'll sweeten the deal with about 5 lbs of Haribo's I brought back from Germany.

:)

What about off-season sales? It's quite a few months until nector flow, so I got lots of time

If you have some Haribos, its time to come clean and work a deal with me!

I am another one who picked up a used 1400 - 20 frame extractor, Maxant send the manual free. It works like a champ and is a very solid built rig.
