so what do u think the limit is on it ? for taps the place i putting this has 300 maples atleast and can take 2 to 3 taps and i got a place that has 200 taps and may beabel to get a other 200 out of that should i put hte pump on the 200 tap bush and look for a sp22 if there 600 taps or would the bb2 handle it

The BB-2 would have a real workout on 200 taps,,,but with a TIGHT system might ammount to something IMHO

A guy down the road has a Surge SP11 vacuum pump with a small tank and 3/4 HP motor for sale. He wants $75. Seems to run good, quiet, makes vacuum on the inlet of the tank. I'm thinking of vacuum some time in the future. Is this worth the $$$? Thanks...

I say it is a great deal at that price, at least around here in northern NE. Even if you don't use it, you will never lose money at that price.

I paid $50 for a SP-11 last winter on ebay...needed to have the head re-ground - which was $20 at the machine shop- then I put a $50 electric motor on it- and a $30 muffler...so I would say its a good deal at $75...
