I finally got this down loaded on you tube. Forgetting proper credits I thought I would put the link on here to thank everyone who gave input to help me set this up. Needless say to worked very well I only wish we would have had a season to truly appreciate it.
The total setup was around 500.00. The 99.00 Harbor Freight 99CC engine would run for about 4 1/2 hours on a half gallon of gas. Next year I will have an auxiliary tank on it. I finally found a sweet spot on it at about 1/4 throttle. For the price you can buy two and have a spare.
This is a very simple setup for my first year playing with vacuum having about 70 trees on it. I learned everything on setup by reading the threads on this website and sugarbush info.
The only thing I would do different up to this point is buy the smaller bender releaser as for a small guy like me and after seeing Larry's in WI they handle 200 trees with no problem and are less bulky to handle.
Thanks fellas
