hauling sap with a tractor
I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with hauling sap with a tractor? I am looking into a bush about a few miles down the road that would be all up hill at a steady moderate incline. It looks to have about 2500 taps. I would like to be able to haul a 1550 gallon tank. The road is straight ,wide and paved. At 1550 gallons plus the tank and trailer I would figure it weighting at least 13,000 pounds. braking should not be much of an issue , it will never be going down hill loaded . I suppose I could also just haul 1000gallons at a time if I had to. I am hoping to buy about a 45 hp Kubota or something else in that range. Any info would be helpful. Thanks Luke
