Changed the winch out for rope pulleys.i thought the winch looked pretty cool to haha.god bless and thanks for watchin.check out my 2024 honey harvest kickoff video just uploaded
Great video, love your mention of our UltraMax extractor and some of the features we've implemented. Finally got around to hitting "SUBSCRIBE" on your channel... well worth it, my friend!
Great stuff. Big fan of your workflow. I'm about to extract myself for the first time(wish me luck!) and you've made it look like smooth sailing. Cool idea with the wine press, it seems like a very tidy solution. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing your other videos! Thanks for making this one, great stuff and good camera work.
Thanks alot and good luck with your honey extraction.just got done with my second pull. Lots of work but i love it. Hope to put out another video if i got enough footage. Hard to video when your covered head to toe in honey. Thanks for watching and god bless
That sounds like a good idea .i wa strying to figure out a way to brace it without being in the way i thank you very much anmd deffently gonna try that thanks for the idea and thanks for watching god bless
I think im gonna like it. Definitely a work in progress. Need to fine adjust the chains and gonna put 8 inch wheels under it to make it taller and easier to move outside to clean. Thanks for watching and god bless
We came to watch this video to see the changes you made to your uncapper! We know we’ve watched your videos but can’t remember are you the one that made the lifter to go on your tractor also?
Hi Sir, thanks for the video. I think your set up is one of the set up that can encourage new people to want to join the party. It is not scary but encouraging. Im thinking of entering this business, but all the set up i have seen frightened me, except yours. Im novice to this business but like il. Can you please furnish me with the different types of machines, their function and price. I hope im not asking too much of you. I just want to know if I have the money to start this business. Thanks
Hello and thanks for watching my video.if your just starting out i encourage you to figure out at what level do you want to take this hobby as it is very enjoyable but a lot of work and alot of money . How many hives would you like to get to?
Sorry its took so long to answer your questions. Ultramax was around 1350 The 2 vivo extractors was 425 apeice The maxant chain uncapper was 3000 The fruit press was around 400 Bucket blankets around 150 apeice Theres alot of other smaller tools but most arent used . Thats why i think you should figure out about how many hives you want to get up to and plan to buy the right equipment for that number even if it is a little overkill at first thanks again for watching and god bless
I just found your channel and subscribed. I looked for your name and location in KY under the about tab and I couldn’t find your name and location no where. Please reply with that info. You have a nice setup. John definitely has some great extractors along with a lot of other good items.
What is that covering on your floor? We have a temp setup in a shipping container and are looking at a clean flooring setup that wont cost alot. Also where are you and how do you know the flow is over?
hello the covering on the floor is bubble wrap that they use on roofing. Had a hard time finding enough cardboard to cover the floor so decided to give that a try.im gonna mop it when im done roll it up and use it again next year. Thanks for watching and god bless
This pull of honey was very light but now their feeding on clover so it will be a little darker next time . Ive never had real dark honey in my area .thanks for watching and god bless
thanks for sharing... but you should explain each step what are you doing and why and how, and what are you expecting to obtain... for a dumb newbie like me, I'm at my first hive, first year and clueless, learning from books and UA-cam
I have 30 production hives and total 53 right now my bees have stopped making swarm cells so im gonna start grafting queen cells.i pulled 24 medium supers and got 42 gallons of honey.ive got 28 deep boxes almost ready to pull.and there filling the supers now.best year ive ever had.god is sure looking out for me this year and it feels pretty good after last year. Thanks for watching and god bless
Have no idea if its the best .i will say its not at all perfect and is definitely a work in progress. Fixing to make a video on the modifications ive made to it since the video .i do think that it will be ok once the bugs are worked thanks for watching and god bless
Thanks for making this video. How is that extractor holding up? Anything you are unhappy with about it? I’m looking to buy the same one sometime before the next extraction season. These look great, the price seems fantastic, and the warranty is unreal, but there isn’t a lot of independent reviews out there yet.
I think its the best extractor on the market for the price.i looked at extractors that size for 4 years and none of them made me pull the triger.the price is way better and its built very well.there pretty new brand and john at hillco is constantly making improvements.with the 4/10 warranty you cant go wrong.in the 4 years searching for an extractor,this is the only place ive ever seen a warranty and that means alot.give john a call at hillco and chat with him,hes one of the nicest guys and loves to talk. Thanks for watching and god bless
hello daisy it cost 1389.00 with free shipping .it is very well built and comes with a 4-10 year warranty. 4years on the motor gear box and control box and 10 years on all the rest.that is unheard of .been looking at different extractors for 4 years now and its hands down the best deal ive seen out there on the market thanks for watching and you can go to hillco utube channel and john can give you a good look at all there extractors and other products. thsanks and god bless
Ive been really satisfied with it .seems to be pretty accurate.the only complaint with it is,its a little to much for checking out at the hives but its really nice when your extracting.i want one of the cheaper ones that you look thru like a scope .i think they would be handier outside.hope that helps ,thanks for watchin and god bless
Very light in color and very sweet. The white clover is blooming now so my next pull of honey will be a little darker.reconised you channel name and have watched your channel . Thanks for watching and god bless
Hi, nice honey extractor you have. What was the price of the extractor and how is the quality? How many frames can you put into it at the same time? Thanks for a greate video. /Roger
Hello that is a hillco ultramax and its made in the usa.its one of the nicest extractors ive seen on the market.been looking at it for over a year and finally decided to pull the trigger.its very well built and for the price no others even come close and ive been looking at extractors for 4 years now.it holds 18 mediums or 9 deeps and it can hold 9 mediums and 9 deeps at the same time.the warranty is so good its unheard of.4 years on the motor gearbox and control box and 10 year warranty on all the rest. Ive never seen that anywhere else . I highly recommend hillco they have a utube channel so you can get a good preveiw of all their products .the price is 1389.00 with free shipping .thanks for watching
@@morninggloryapiary7001 Thank you for the answer. I was impressed over the look of the extractor and also now the warrenty. Greate and nice color. I hope it will run a long time for you without problem. Best regards Roger👍🐝
I cant remember what company i ordered it from. Its very heavy built and sturdy.will be making a video soon with it pressing the cappings. My batteries all went dead on me and couldnt get it in the video . Thank for watching and god bless
i went and looked but it has no brand name on it. seems like i seen it on utube and looked up the company on the internet.so sorry i cant help you,but thanks for the interest and god bless
hello again ,ive found where i purchased the press. its a macintosh brand and its called a apple cider press.i purchased it from a store on the internet called pleasant hill grain.the price on it is 469.00 .hope that helps and again,thanks for your interest
Well im sure they dont appreciate it to much, but at the end of the day they depend on honey sales to keep them taken care of. Things like mite treaments ,pollen substitutes,sugar syrup on the fall,wooden ware,all the things they need cost a lot of money .thanks for watching and god bless
I really liked this video - but mostly I really liked you - your presentation was NOT full of idle, silly, nonsensical chatter - straight concise information and demonstration of your equipment - will look for your other videos - hope other youtube content providers watch and LEARN from your example - thank you
Definitely a work in progress. Need to fine adjust the chains and gonna weld on 8 inch wheels to make it taller and easier to move outside to clean . Thanks for watching and god bless
Very nice sir!!!
Thanks alot just about time to do it again .thanks for watching God bless

Really like the new extractor lid configuration.

Thanks so much their not very good but hope you enjoy god bless
Nice work. I like your lift you made. Great idea. Blessings and stay well.
It worked out pretty well thanks for watching
thank you!
thanks for watching and god bless
Put a small triangle in the top corners of your lifting device and it will be a lot less wobbly. Absolutely love the invention!
That sounds like a good idea .i wa strying to figure out a way to brace it without being in the way i thank you very much anmd deffently gonna try that thanks for the idea and thanks for watching god bless
The uncapper looks great, fast and quiet.
I think im gonna like it. Definitely a work in progress. Need to fine adjust the chains and gonna put 8 inch wheels under it to make it taller and easier to move outside to clean. Thanks for watching and god bless
That's a great little invention there!
thanks, sure better than holdin that bag for 20 minutes. its a work in progress just like everything else i have. thanks for watchin and god bless
Great looking honey, such a light color. I have a more amber color to mine. Love all the nice equipment.

My honey will be darker from now until july the white clover is rockin right now its usually a little darker thanks for watching
We came to watch this video to see the changes you made to your uncapper! We know we’ve watched your videos but can’t remember are you the one that made the lifter to go on your tractor also?
Yes mam ,just had a video using the lifter
I like the hilco color. I love the oroginal better.

Love your chain uncap machine
Itseem to work pretty good took a little bit to get it adjusted thanks for watching
I've been trying to come up with an uncapper. I guess you think the Maxant was the best? A knife gets old after a few supers 😁

What kind of digital honey refractometer are you using. Do you find it's pretty accurate with the readings.
Ive been really satisfied with it .seems to be pretty accurate.the only complaint with it is,its a little to much for checking out at the hives but its really nice when your extracting.i want one of the cheaper ones that you look thru like a scope .i think they would be handier outside.hope that helps ,thanks for watchin and god bless
That is some pretty light colored honey!
Very light in color and very sweet. The white clover is blooming now so my next pull of honey will be a little darker.reconised you channel name and have watched your channel . Thanks for watching and god bless

How long did it take to extract in the extractor?
Really dont know it seem to spin out a little faster than my other extractors thanks for watching and god bless
Never had any issues with a "sticky" control module. Lol😅

How is your uncapper holding up? You like it?
uncapper is working well this year. Cant say its the best machine out there but it seems to do well for me.thanks for watching God bless

Nice set up.where did you get the wine press?
I cant remember what company i ordered it from. Its very heavy built and sturdy.will be making a video soon with it pressing the cappings. My batteries all went dead on me and couldnt get it in the video . Thank for watching and god bless
@@morninggloryapiary7001 I’m interested in knowing where you got the wine press also. Seems perfect for small scale operations.
i went and looked but it has no brand name on it. seems like i seen it on utube and looked up the company on the internet.so sorry i cant help you,but thanks for the interest and god bless
i will keep searching and if i find out anything i will most certainly let you know

March 26th pulling honey??? Wtf do you live. Hahha. 🎉 well done
You caught that blooper .wish i was smart enough to fix that .haha meant to say may. Thanks for watching
NIce! Hoping to have seen the press in action...
Will do the next time i pull .was gonna show it pressing but my batteries all went dead on my camera thanks for watching
Are the bees ever upset that they went to the trouble to make all this honey and it's just gone from one day to the next?
Well im sure they dont appreciate it to much, but at the end of the day they depend on honey sales to keep them taken care of. Things like mite treaments ,pollen substitutes,sugar syrup on the fall,wooden ware,all the things they need cost a lot of money .thanks for watching and god bless
