I am wondering if there are any maple equipment dealers in western MA. Last year a friend of my dads boiled all of my sap but this tar I want to have my own setup. He may be selling his so who noes. Are there any maple shugarers in hampden county because I want to look at other peoples setups.

Farmboy, I've just moved your post to a thread where it'll likely get better responses.

As to who's close by... I'm in Belchertown, though I don't have much more than a nifty shack to shop off right now (still shoping for the evap) and the forum admin, mapleman3 (Jim), is also in south Belchertown. He's got a setup worth visiting.

Devon Lane Farm Supply (again, in B-town) sells buckets, tubing, bottles, filters, etc. Though I've never dealt with them personally, Dufresne's (http://www.berkshiremaple.com/sugarmaking.htm) on Rte. 9 in Williamsburg is a commercial dealer for CDL and Dallaire, both manufacturers of evaporators.

Red Bucket Sugar Shack in Worthington probably has more in stock than anyone from used equipment to new. Dufresne is probably a close second.
