sap puller

[chrisnjake9]

I have a Lapierre hobby releaser that has cost me a fortune and I'm thinking of getting a sap puller. I would like to hear some comments from people who have one and the pros & cons. Thank you!

If you are referring to the Waterhouse sap puller, we ran one this year and loved it. It was our 1st year with any vacuum. We have around 1500 taps and averaged between 14 to 18 inches. We had a hard time keeping gauges on it though. We have run it throughout the night on several occasions. Ours is a gas powered version. We got about 8 hrs of run time on a tank of gas. It allowed us to get more sap then ever and on days we normally wouldn't have had any runs.
