Glad it wasnt just me
lead poisoning!
I have always been told to treat it like milk. How long would you leave milk out before you had to throw it away?
You forgot to go visit h2o!!
I have also wondered about how well they work, but like you said if they are using them on that size operation they must not have any problems with them. I actually saw her and her family at a gas...
That's pretty cool. Nice Job!
Its 6 o'clock and it still hasn't warmed up here on the Canadian border:cry:
I started doing mine last weekend, but only because I have plenty of stuff to finish getting ready and only have weekends to do it. The main reason is that I want to get it done before we get another...
Anyone being attacked by gypsy moths. They are everywhere around my shop. Birch and oak trees are bare.
I installed a float switch into my electric releaser that shuts the vacuum off by closing a ball valve when it is tripped. It runs off air pressure, so I needed to hook it to a mini air compressor...
Mines running the best it has all season also! Should be a good week
Good to know, thanks Doctor
So you don't worry about a few reds budding?
I am still worried anyway, especially with all the rain coming tommarrow
Yes it is definatly a pain. Every time I have to get the ice out of it I tell myself, I really need to enclose this thing and heat it. Well its on the list and just havent got to it yet. Maybe next...
Blissville you are 100% right but I need my beauty sleep. Usually doesn't freeze until after I am in bed all cozy, LOL. But yes that is totally what I should do
I am a bit concerned about the forcast as well. But I agree things can change day to day. Luckily the weatherman is usually wrong
Any particular reason you would want to tap with vacuum on?
The biggest problem I have with a mechanical releaser is the sap that freezes in the manifold and in the lines entering. one of the elbows is always full of sap which freezes and when things start to...
I have been using 1/4" spouts for a 5 or 6 years and honestly don't notice a difference in my sap totals from when I used 5/16. I know science may say that I will get less but I don't see a...
I usually just walk down the mainlines and look at the loop of tubing where it goes into the saddles. You can then tell if there is a leak on that line by watching what the sap is doing
If you go overboard you can stretch the plastic which narrows the internal diameter of the tubing, but you would have to really have to pull on it to do that. and to pull them off a fitting you...
I also use banjo fittings and have not had a problem
Wow that's crazy, never seen pipe that big
I have the same one. I pump like 500 ft on the ground then up and over a driveway maybe 15 ft up and into a truck. I use 3/4 inch line and it works great other than it freezing. not a ton of pressure...
