Trying to see if anybody is interested in buying my evaporator after this season

[mike first timer]

Just wanted to put this up on here to see how easy it will be to sell my evaporator after this season is done.It is a 18x48 dellair with a 3 channel pan all firebricked and insulated.I would like to know if i will be able to sell it before i buy a new one.

what kind of gph does it get? i might be interested in it for next season depending on the price. i think is should be fairley easy to sell on here.

It gets probally 10 gph probally a little more if i run the blower.I think i would put in on here for $1300 the pan and evaporator is in really good shape.I made 20 gals of syrup on it last year.and in total i have made probally 25 gals in all with it i bought it new 3 years ago.I figured i would put it on so if somebody wanted to see it run this year they could.

i dont think 10 gph would be enough for mw next year. i am planning on at least 150 taps. hopefully more like 250.

No it would not be big enough because i am at 200 taps and i know i wont be able to keep up this year.That is why i am looking at getting a 2x6 for next year and add on to the sap house this summer hopefully.I hope that i can sell this one after i am done this season.

Bascoms is always looking for those small evaporators. During the spring sale trade it and get a discount on the new one.

I talked to one equipment dealer and I think I might make out better selling it myself then trading it in.
