{"product_id":"happy-valley-ranch-hvr-hvramericanharvester","title":"Happy Valley Ranch American Harvester Cider Press \u0026 Grinder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA larger apple harvest is easier to manage when grinding and pressing can happen at separate stations. The American Harvester uses two tubs so one batch can be prepared while another is pressed. Its hand-operated layout suits orchard owners and homesteaders who want a durable, repairable press without depending on a motor for the basic process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose the right setup for your harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose this double-tub layout when keeping a batch moving matters more than minimizing the equipment footprint. Grinding and pressing are separate operations: the grinder prepares pulp, and the screw applies the pressure. Juice output depends on fruit condition, preparation and technique; a fixed gallons-per-hour output is not promised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications that matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLayout\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-tub cider press and grinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaminated hard maple; notched and cross-bolted joints\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrinding drum\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard maple with inset stainless-steel teeth; factory-coated drum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePress screw\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 1\/2-inch Acme-threaded screw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 lb cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTubs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo hardwood tubs; each 12 inches high × 13 1\/2 inches diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eJuice racks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStandard finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnfinished press wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Harvester press and Apple Eater grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo tubs and two juice racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBefore your first batch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard setup is hand-operated.
