Hillco is a great company! If I need it and they sell it, thats where I buy it. Top. Quality, qreat service.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
Awesome extractor you have yourselves there. Thanks for the video.
We sure are happy with it! Thank you for watching!
I'm picking mine up at the expo next month. I like their products. Thanks for the video.
Have fun at the expo. I can’t get away to go but wish I could. I think you’ll really enjoy the extractor. Thank you for watching
That's a very nice piece of equipment there. Mine is similar in size, but is still a manual turn. A little envious of the motor!
Just a side note. I always used my extractor with the clear lid off because I thought it was simply for safety and finger pinches, etc. Well that's not true at all, the clear cover actually keeps honey in the container. The thin wispy honey gets caught in the updraft of air and fine mists of honey will end up all over everything! Keep that lid closed and keep your nice garage clean!
Good luck!
Hey @DIaledN_07 ! I didn't think about fine "Honey mist" coming out of the extractor but it makes sense, these things spin really fast! I think I actually did keep the lid down for all the rest of our extracting, but not for any reason besides it was there. I will keep the mess you described in mind from now on. Thank you!
Get a piece of timber. cut slots for bucket edge to sit in. Place a long screw through the timber centre. Sit frames on the sharp screw and scrape. I use totes With a 2 inch piece of wood slotted for edges and a 4 inch screw. Those extractors can rip off fingers or a hand if accidentally placed inside.
Good idea! I bought a small setup similar to what you described just after shooting this video!
Love my UltraMax extractor.
I extracted about 500 pounds this past season with it.
John Hill posted a video that informs one how to increase the top speed from 50 hertz to 60 hertz.
Another game changer from HillCo is the dripless gate and bottling tank.
Be safe!
Edit: Your helper could use a 6" step!
Edit 2: I bolted mine to the floor. You lucked out with your initial balance.
I tried to get one of those dripless gates but they were sold out. You’re right about the balance. I think we started so slow because we were taping that it evened out before we got it going fast. I’ll have to investigate how to get more juice out of it from the Hillco videos. Thank you!
@fatherdaughterhoney I bought my UltraMax a year ago. John Hill posted a video showing how to max out the speed at 60 hertz. I'm assuming that your extractor was produced after he increased the speed, as you mentioned 60 in this video.
Prayers for you and your family in Israel!
Thank you for the information. I believe you are confusing my channel with another one with a similar name. I tried to find his channel to give you the link but I can’t find it anymore. Anyway, we are from the USA and do not live in Israel. Thank you
@@fatherdaughterhoney your right. Oops. It's Brown and Daughters.
That’s it!
