Hello,
I didn't know there was a Massachusetts section on here, happy to see some local knowledge getting passed around.
I tapped the weekend of February 14-15 have 25 maples on vacuum with another 10ish on buckets. This is my first year doing a vacuum pump and my ground is totally flat so it's taking alot of trouble shooting to get it to run right but I think I am finally there. I am getting about a gallon a day from each tree on vacuum, currently at 90 gallons of sap but the majority of that is from the past few days.
Anyway - glad to see some other people from Massachusetts on here, if I can help anyone interested in a vacuum setup, don't hesitate to reach out.
