I personally think its the store brand breaker I bought instead of a name brand. It's awg 10 wire going to the breaker and it dosn't have more then one thing running at one time. The 20 amp breaker was working fine but ocassionally tripped when the welder grabbed so I went to a 30 that was recommened to use and it won't even run the air compresser like the 15 did. I don't run more then one thing at a time on that breaker due to seeing what happens when you do things like that.
Have not posted anything in a while. Too busy. I am hoping to have my new woods done by the upcoming season. between 4500 to 5000 taps that i started late spring. That will put me at about 6700 taps. All on vac. I picked up my first wave of check spouts today, 2500 of them. They better work,almost $900 for them. If anyone is bored this winter and just wants to work in the woods , without being paid, just let me know. I will supply the coffee.
Glad to hear it's 10 wire. It could be what you say. I've had bad breakers right of the shelf in the past.
KenWP, check your ground. Also, make sure the breaker is meant for your box. Whether it be Cutler Hammer, Westinghouse or what have you. Sometimes the breaker fits in the box but won't function properly. But it sounds like a ground issue.
Worked more on the sugar shack today. I am going to work on it more tomorrow and burn brush. Hopefully I can get rafters up by the time vacation is over. Mabey even the metal roofing. It's coming along. I'm still looking for a 2X6 or 2X8 or mabey a little bigger evaporator for the spring. I want to tap more trees but can't with the half pint. PM me if you no of one in western mass, southern vermont, or conneticut. Thanks Farmboy
Hope every one has a Happy and safe New Year. Let the 2010 season begin! Just think in six weeks someone someplace will be taped in.
Justed looked back you guys in Kentucky be in in 4 weeks. Man have I got to get moving on a few things.
3 1/2 months Ill be packing the family east for the Wisc. season is close. New finish pans with upgrades, changing over to a Gast oiless vane pump to replace the beast. Want to stop smelling like gas and want to run off timer so I can stop the backwash when it runs out of gas. Plus Will save about $75.00 in gas.
3 1/2 months makes it the middle of April I hope to get sap before that even in the far north.
haynes, do you have electric at ur bush? Found out today ill be running a other Gas pump = no electric :( o well just hook up a big gas tank
