Happy Valley Ranch Pioneer Cider Press & Grinder MEGA Kit
Get the press, powered-grinding accessories and basic supplies in one model-matched package. The Pioneer MEGA Kit combines the corresponding cider press and grinder with its motor and retractable-wheel kits, reducing the number of separate compatibility choices for a new setup. Make useful juice from a smaller home apple harvest without stepping up to a double-tub press. Happy Valley Ranch positions the Pioneer for roughly one to five trees. The integrated grinder prepares the fruit, and the manual screw presses the resulting pulp in the single tub.
Choose the right setup for your harvest
Choose this model for occasional home harvests and a smaller pressing setup. It still requires fruit preparation, assembly, cleaning and finishing before first use. A grinder helps break down apples; the pressing screw performs the juice extraction.

Before your first batch
The wooden press is supplied unfinished unless the separately priced factory-finish option is selected where available. Included EZ-DO is a finishing supply, not a claim that the press arrives coated. Assemble and install the motor guards as instructed, and allow any finish to cure before use.
Warranty
Manufacturer warranty terms apply to the supplied equipment. Contact Prepper Hideout for help with a warranty claim.
Clean the press after use and follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Freshly pressed juice is unpasteurized; use appropriate food-handling practices for your intended storage or fermentation process.
Shipping
Free standard shipping to the contiguous United States. Ships directly from the supplier. Supplier processing is usually 3–5 business days; assembly, finishing and peak-season demand can extend preparation time. Alaska, Hawaii and territories are not included in this shipping offer.
