My extractor is an old 20 frame beast. Every time I turn it on I wonder if it’s a belt breaking or a bearing giving out in my future but so far it was a good investment. I’m doing 200-300 frames and I’m just not doing that with a 2-3 frame hand crank.
I’ve considered letting people rent my room to spin their honey….but by the time I’m done with mine I hate the thought of doing another frame.
I’ve decided to relocate my home hive to a higher ridge and face the hives south based on the production at my second yard this year. Being low in a bowl and a tree line a guy suggested the temperature stays lower down there in the. Owning and they’re in shade from the tree line after 430….so I’m losing production on both ends of the day. I buy that argument enough to try the change.
Your story of wind blowing them over is a concern though.
