    That is odd. My 600 would always shut down unless I left the valve partially in the concentrate position. I have a 1200 now and you can put that in the full rinse position no problem. BTW I love the...

    Did you figure out your problem? I haven't been on this site for a while, so didn't see your post. On the single membrane econox 600 you can't put the lever all the way to the rinse position, it will...

    My main bush has around 3400 trees that are about 50/50 sugars and reds. The other bush of 1000 trees is probably 90% sugar maples. Late in the season last year I tested the sap from each bush and...

    That's so sad, it's a sugar makers nightmare. I'd get a processor in there and turn them into firewood to recoup your losses.

    We switched a couple years ago to custom jugs through CDL. We had to buy 20 cases of each size which was a considerable expense at the time, but I'm glad we did now!

    I have an intense o fire and really like it, but it sure throws the sparks with certain woods! It's not much of a problem with me because of location and snow covered ground, but something to...

    Do you have a check valve between the pump and releaser? It's possible that the pump shut off for overload, etc. and the vacuum remaining in the releaser sucked the oil out of the pump if there's no...

    This is a new area I just tapped this spring. It has better, deeper soils than the hill behind the sugarhouse which is all shale. The downside is, I'll be needing to thin all those out in a few years.

    Seedlings galore

    I've removed about 20 cord of beech and fir from this area to open the canopy up over the past two years and boy did the maple seedlings take off! The entire forest floor is covered with them.

    Wow, 2 gallons more sap per inch, I didn't realize it was that much! My bush was a former woodlot and sugar maple was the firewood of choice, so there aren't many real large trees. I think you'd...
