We are starting to convert our 100 tap sugarbush over to lines in order to access some trees that are unreachable otherwise. We are hoping to reach 500 taps. With that amount comes a need to gather it since we are boiling far away from the woods.
I was hoping you all could share some insight on the best ways to gather from a poly collection tank in the woods to a trailer on a tractor without electricity. I was thinking about a PTO pump or a trash pump but it would need to pump up approx 50' in elevation and preferably approx 200' from the tank to the trailer as the tank is located in the lowest point of the woods and is difficult to access by tractor without getting bogged down.
