I am getting 85 gph from my 3 by 10. According to the books i am doing pretty good for a 3 by 10. What are you getting on a 3 by 10?

I was wondering how the 282 tap count on vac is working with a 3X10. I have a dairy pump and a 3X10 and was hoping to start with around 300 taps. Wondering what you are getting for sap and how long your boils are?

78 gph for 3x10, so if you fig you get 1 gal sap when it runs on 300 taps its only 3.8hr of boiling. No problem with 300 taps

I have no problem at all getting rid of the sap Going for more trees next season!!! I Get about 300 gallons per run. (Big Runs) Definently put your treeson vacuum. And Flat lander did all of the math right. Just depends on your boil rate.

If I'm doing everything right I can get 125 GPH on my 3x10. It's raised flue, full hoods, preheater, standard arch with blower.

Ihave a 3 by 10 with the max pan by leader and we consistanly boil 155-165 gallons per hr,of course it can change with the type of wood and the barometric pressure

we have an old King arch 3 x 10 and 85gph was about right with previous blower and preheater. Bumped that up to about 120 ish with AOF and WRU (water reduction unit). I think your rig is doing about what it should do. The preheater may get you 5 to 10% more.
