@@beematter Thank

They’re AA rechargeable batteries. I usually go with Energizer but I’m curious if your machine isn’t recharging your batteries between uses? This machine is intended to recharge them regularly. Are you changing your batteries every two days?

@beematter yes every two days we change out the batteries. It dose charge them but it drains them pretty fast.

What batteries are you using?

@@beematter Energizer Max

Rechargeable?

I have used 14, 16 and 20 foot trailers. All of them are just over 8 feet wide.

@@beematter Can you share some dimensions of the ezyloader? Maybe you have diagrams and drawings. I want to try to make it for myself! There is no way to buy one in Ukraine!

I believe you can order them directly from the manufacturer in Australia. A web search should give you results for their website and a contact form to reach them and arrange it.

It is an electronic sensor set to level and can be reset when needed.

Thank you! It is in the plans to make those videos and hope to get there this summer. Time will tell.

😂😂. I wish.

This is BHF Sales Ltd TH-cam channel and we import, sell and service EZYLoader in North America. We also mount them on trailers manufactured and purchased from Rainbow Trailers here in Manitoba. We mount them for customers and as demonstration units as we did, with an attempt at light heartedness, in this video. Our website and info is in the “About page” on this and all our videos.

Awesome, thank you! Never sure if it comes out the way it is in my head lol.

Oh trust me!! Not just the morning coffee lol. Merry Christmas to you as well and likewise your input and hard work in the bee world is appreciated.

And I thank you for it!

This particular trailer is 14 feet long and 8.5 feet wide with two 5500 pound axles.

It can indeed and using todays exchange rate it’s around $38000 delivered.

The trailer in the video has a payload capacity of 8444 pounds but the deck itself can hold up to 96 hives if loaded from the rear. We did not have that many hives to move so loaded from the side which leaves room for 72 hives and is under the weight cap even with pallets. The scale on the EZYLoader is very handy to keep track of how much weight you have on the trailer and keep it under max weight. We also have 16 foot trailers with 7000 pound axels which allows us to load 96 from the side and have the weight capacity to handle it. The new demo unit will be on one of these. Hope to get video of that one out too.

@@beematter thanks for your detailed response I really appreciate it

That will depend on your location for currency and shipping. You can email me if you like with that info and will get you a quote.

Bees always experience stress when travelling, even in hives but yes we do expect some compensation for losses. Sometimes it is full coverage and sometimes prorated to the losses experienced. If we can make one hive out of two packages, for example, we would request 50% coverage. It needs to be shown to be airline or producer issues though, not handling or hiving issues this side so some investigation is required.

Sure. This is a 2500 hd. A ¾ ton pickup.

I know right?? Weird but useful.

It does indeed. Hopefully it goes well with the rest of the rebuild

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to give that a try. I sometimes use sacrificial boards or, if I have more than one board to plane, start the next one before the first one is done.

@@beematter yes. Sacrificial boards are great. I grew up feeding a 15, 000 lb planer that ran off a 60 HP diesel engine. It was important to keep the lumber end to end no gaps.

@@ThatBeeMan wow. That’s quite the planer.

@@ThatBeeMan the wish list for shop tools is quite long but this is one I am quite happy with. Got it slightly used with the exact helical blades I had planned to install on a new one. Next tool is probably a bandsaw. 14” minimum.

@@beematter Nice! I am stil running straight blades in my 735. Here's a link to videos on that big old planer. th-cam.com/play/PL01Quff4X3J0uoosOKpuPflouIHoAf8jF.html

Thanks for your comment Thomas. The engineers who designed it did so with safety and longevity in mind over 35 years ago and it has an excellent safety record. In fact there are many of these machines that have well over 20 years of service still operating safely today . Some of the other videos on our channel get more into the install and structure of the unit if you are interested.

I’ll see what I can do.

Lol.

Hi. Hopefully this translates back well. I am not quite sure what info you want so without getting too specific; it is a self contained hydraulic pump/tank/valve set up controlled by the computer in the EzyLoader. The auto level, raise and lower functions and the winch system on the 300MH and smaller units using the hydraulic winch rather than electric are all powered by this pump. I will cover it more in upcoming videos.

Thanks Sheldon. That’s cool and I’m waiting to see how it goes too. Always amazes me how resilient and malleable bees can be…sometimes lol.

I will see if I can find anything. I have observed it myself, back before the advent of cameras in every pocket, so have never really bothered to look it up. Just assumed if I had seen it most other beekeepers had too.

It is pretty nice set up. BHF Sales is the importer/distributer for North America so feel free to pm me or use the links in the description for our website or email.

Yeah. The old stuff went missing lol. Happens occasionally on our farm.

We request them on all shipments and get them on most but not all suppliers feel they need to use them.

Love the Ezyloader. Simple to use and handles hives on both two-way and four-way pallets very well. Those are my first thoughts and have a lot more. If you can be more specific I could give my thoughts on that as well.

Hi there. I am not certain what you mean. Google translate may be failing us. It tells me you want to know about a horizon sensor, and assume it means the auto level sensor. Is that correct?

Some days yes, that would be very low but actually it pretty much right on the money. Depends on the day though. This brief inspect only resulted in one. Record is over 100. It was a bad day.

Thanks. Will do my best.

Thanks. Looked surgical.

I would expect so. It would depend on how full they were though. We tried two pallets and it was a bit much with winter hives full of feed but take out the extra pallet, lids and bottoms and would have been different.

The capacity is 660 pounds for the 300MH.

We import them from Arataki Honey Ltd in Rotorua New Zealand.

@@beematter I saw a CBC article recently saying the bees being imported were having supply chain issues for Manitoba beekeepers, did you experience that this year? What was your solution if so?

We did along with many Canadian beekeepers the last while. Mostly due to airline schedule changes during Covid and related issues. We hope to be back to normal by 2023.

Our solution on the farm side is to make our own queens and produce as many nucs and splits as possible without jeopardizing our production hive strength. Typically 200-400 per year. That also helps build numbers and replace old stock.
