Has anybody installed new drops with new cv spouts on vacuum? Wondering if it would out perform a new drop and new conventional tap. Thanx.
Just curious, what size mainline are you using and how long?
What size mainline, how long?
Yes, shurflo is that much better. The most I got from a northstar was 18", replaced it with a shurflo 4048 and started getting 24".
I use milk stone remover. Dump 3/4 gallon in the syrup pan and 1 1/4 in the flue pan (3x10 evaporator), fill the rest of the way with water and let sit for a couple of days. Drain and rinse then wash...
Used #2 with an additive I got from a local marina. No issues, quite cold too.
I have a 3x10 firing at 7.2 gph with 800 degree stack temp. Wondering what others are running.
Just curious, wondering what you are running for a stack temp?
I have a carlin 201 crd for sale that I think would work good on a 2.5x8. It's max firing rate is 5.5 gph. The leader oil fired arch manual calls for 4-5 gph firing rate on a 2.5x8. I would sell it...
It has been my experience that between 80 and 100 works best on a shurflo 4048.
You should have a power supply with 3x motor's rated amps. 25 amps should be plenty for a 7.5 amp motor. When a motor begins to spin it draws many times it's rated amps just for a split second if you...
LED 12v power supplies on ebay are half the money. I use a the 30 amp model.
look for squirrel chews. Your sucking air somewhere.
Awesome. :)
Would agree, vacuum and gravity experiments should not be conducted on same the tree.
Was thinking exactly that. I have a group of 10 trees that are all the same size, same soil and same sun exposer that I think will do nicely. Was thinking 4 trees tapped up high with 3/16, four trees...
So tapping down low will give more sap?
Just wondering if anybody has tried tapping up high (7-8') and running 3/16 to a bucket on the ground for a little natural gravity. If you get an inch per foot eight feet will give eight inches. So...
Was there an increase in sap collection over regular spouts? Did you use new or old drops? Are there any studies I can read online?
The sugars are big trees scattered around, can't get vacuum to them.
Which do ya'll think will produce more syrup? Reds on vacuum or Sugars on gravity? Wondering which to go after next year.
I am addicted, I was laying in bed last night thinking about next season.
Going from lugging to pumping is like going from gravity to vacuum, once you do it you're some glad you did.
I would think you would be better off putting the pump in the lowest spot and let the pump push the sap to the sugar house rather than trying to pull it. If you try to pull it you will lose vacuum. I...
