My extractor has never run smoother!
A few more thoughts after filming this in the excitement of the moment. First i fear that ramping up the speed too fast could cause undue stress on extractor bearings. Thus I think its safest to run at lower speed just below the high wobble stage to get as much honey out as possible before ramping up to the high speed. I have run about 50 supers with the rubber dampers and it really speeds up the process and I am able to get much more honey out as well. I am planning on running strings through the tubes to attach them to the feet so they can't ever walk out. Due to the spring reaction time of the rubber the vibration seams to be the least at higher speeds
