Setting up a tubing operation?

[Sapcat]

After 12 years of collecting sap manually, I want to set up a tubing operation with a vacuum pump. I tap 50 trees over 6 acres. Would someone outline the steps and equipment I will need. Thanks!

Sapcat I am out in Glencoe, we have about 120 taps spread over 3 acres of relatively flat ground you are more than welcome to come out and see our setup. We also got tired of hauling pails.

Dlucas Where are you located by Glencoe? I have some taps around Glencoe.

I live in town. I tap with my father in law a little northeast of Glencoe.
