Dadant 12 frame extractor.. should I buy or not

[kspruiet]

As I listed a while back, no troubles since purchase in 86. Mine is belt driven-no belts replaced yet-probably just jinxed myself. I load it full with 12 med frames each time. I rarely extract brood-size combs, but if I did, I'd only put in 3 or 6.

Dadant has the parts to the belt drive if you ever need them. Mine 20 frame is over 20 years old and still going.

Well I hemmed and hawed long enough for this deal to disappear. So.. I am thinking a new Maxant. Got a call into Jake. Hopefully I will have an extractor and something to extract soon.

That sounds like my luck on the used Dadant, Dan.

I talked with Jake about a week ago and he told me it would be roughly six weeks the 1400 was back in stock. I was hoping to find out what deal might be coming so I could decide to wait and buy the Maxant or go ahead and buy something else and have it delivered to our upcoming association meeting (and save shipping $$$). It looks like I'll either have to go ahead and order something from a vendor or either miss the free delivery and gamble on a deal from Maxant.<sigh> Ah well, nothing is easy....maybe carry my supers over to my mentor's for a couple of years and see how things go.
