This was a regular plate as in motor vehicle plate=you know you need to give up about $11 to the goverment for a years registration for an official vehicle plate so you can then legally operate the ATV on roads/Except highways.

I'll tell you guys what ...... that "Solar Panel" only works on one part of the equation!!!

Its like that here too. I live so remote that no one cares whatsoever. The only way you can get into trouble is if you get turned in becouse your being a jerk otherwise no one cares at all. Its just mom. She thinks its a poor way to raise the kids disregarding minor laws and such. ??? Just trying to keep this thing alive. Was up in the woods again tonight putting in drops. Im thinking I may have posted my last tap count. I just dont see the benefit any more. Im thinking the only percentages Im going to worry about is barrells per hill from here on in unless you guys actually want me to count them after season. I cant be counting when theres still time to run more tube before spring. Besides takes all the pressure off. Theron
Dennis- The bushes are all within a mile of the house. Theron
Added enough taps today for an extra barrel of syrup next season. I had a lot of trees come down in my big bush last week with the snow. Luckily most were beech, but I did loose a couple maples. I fixed most of the tubing, but need to go up on the mountain with the chainsaw. I'll have to wait till the weekend so my son can go up with me, just incase I have an accident someones there to go get help. I should be finishing tap addage in my big bush tommorow morning, and then go get a couple loads of wood.
theron why not take it bit farther and build them a nice little barrel evap and let them boil as a way as well
Theron,
Here in NY, my Kubota RTV can be considered a farm tractor. The top speed must be 25 mph or less, there must be a Slow Moving vehicle emblem, and it must be being used in the production of an Ag commodity. There still is an age factor when it comes to operating a farm vehicle on the public highway. Your own kids can legally operate your "tractor" at a younger age than hired youngsters. Of course these are NY regs so I don't know what applies in Pa:) .
I do like the idea of the dumping stations. As kids, we were given a gallon pail to use to "help" as soon as we could navigate the bush. By the time we were 8 or 9 we graduated to 12 quart pails. I also remember as a teen when I didn't want to help with lots of jobs but that never applied to sugaring. It was always fun (even when we were dead tired) and always a family operation.
Doug- Ive got some nice bushes that would work real good. Theres one thats got probly 200 taps and they are real concentrated so what Ill do is put 3/4 on a line and 2 or 3 dumping stations then itll be really easy for them. Ill just run them over and let them collect and then Boo can call me on a two way and Ill go pick it up. Thatll work good I think. I think its a real good thing for them to do and plus it teaches them about working for their money. I was thinking about letting them boil on my old rig but I think Ill wait a couple years. The more time thier in the woods the less time they are getting in trouble. Theron
Gravel- I want to come but its 8 hrs away and Im stringin tube night and day like a madman. Maybe we could get together in January one evening? You and Parker and Governor and Matt can tell me all your lies and try to teach me how to be a sugarmaker? Theron
Weve got to get 3% and Russ in there too. I dont know how far you guys are from each other. Theron
