Ok, I'm new to the maple syrup world, last year I set up 25 buckets and boiled on an old wood stove with the top cut off, this year I did 60 plus taps with a homemade evaporator. Next year, I am going with a 2X6 or 2X8 evaporator and 100-150 taps.
My plan is to run lines to two 55 gallon drums, laying on their side. The land I am tapping is fairly flat and it's a slight uphill climb from there.
I have a Suzuki 400 Eiger ATV and an Arctic Cat Cheetah snowmobile. I had ideas of maybe have 4 barrels already set up with little sleds/trailers and just hook up and go. But not sure that this will always work, especially when it's between winter and spring.
The tanks also have to be relatively low to the ground as running lines on flat ground is a challenge.
