Who is buying for $2.80?

The thinner they get the more prone to pin holes they are. That goes with any spout though. I will personally never use another again with the issues I have had.

Run some wire and save yourself the headache of a vacuum line filled with sap/moisture in a sag.

Just as I thought it should be. The reason I asked is because a local dealer rep stated that those numbers are outdated when asked about the CFM's available at the end of a vacuum line to a remote...

Might be a dumb question but I have to ask. The CFM frictional loss in a dry line from a vacuum pump to a releaser are the same today at 15" as it was when all of the original research was done...

There are a lot of variables to your sap yield. He makes that statement because he has seen it done time and time again(I am assuming).

For instance, many people say I am running 27" but what are...

What does it normally cost per semi load? Can you fit 70 on a load?

Unfortunately that is true for people anywhere and not just WI. The only ones rushing to sell at 2.10 are the producers in over their heads or have made bad business deals to secure land or...

One of the two major buyers in WI knows the price is going to go up a sizable amount. The other is too arrogant to admit it. There's a reason a large buyer from OHIO is in WI trying to round up...

I will send you a message jakeleveto. They replaced every tap for free?

Tim - I understand all that with the molds etc. Why run a design that close to having fail rates like they are? Before...

Another year, more leaking taps. Let's just say I am done with this brand of thin-walled tap for the same price junk. Different place on the tap and different mold number leaking this time around. ...

Finally came to a resolution on this. I was given 25% off my order of new taps. Better than nothing but I still wish the initial response to my issue would have been handled a little different.
...

Still working out the details. I am sure it will not be fully figured out until after the spring sales wrap up and that is understandable. I will be sure to update on here when this all gets sorted...

Easier said than done. The best time I had to look was when the trees were froze up. I did find around 10 or so when I looked that day. The problem with finding them was if the trees were running...

Agreed. It's not the same and I stated that. I was more after the "I didn't visit the woods to fix it" part. One guy running 3300 taps and cooking for 6000 on top of a full time job. I don't have...

I sure hope they don't take that approach. I fixed what I could myself but really don't have the time to visit every tap throughout the season. Your last statement would be the same as buying a...

They are all leaking in one location on the taps. Both sides of the taps have the material voids but from the ones I found during season they all leaked only out of one spot. How I actually found...

So obviously I have this issue otherwise I wouldn't bring it up. The company said they are going to make it right. (Not completely sure what that all means). This was on a 3000 tap woods and I...

The pin holes would be in the taps.

Has anyone had any issues with their taps leaking vacuum from pin holes this year?

Thanks for the response Joe!

How high of vacuum will that pump pull on that many taps? Are you running a mechanical releaser or an electric?

I have a heated room already and have to open the...

Does anyone run one of these vacuum pumps? If so, what size, pros, cons, general reliability???

Thanks in advance!!!

I think he wants to run the main power source from the grid and then to the VFD which would be next to the vacuum pump. That's the way I would do it anyways. I am going to be running power 1600...

Mapleack,

Can you send me the manual as well? In need of some parts and I need to know what they are called in order to properly look for them. Thanks in advance! Please send to this address...
