For those that purchased and ran one of the Leader Micro Hobby RO's, how did it go this year? Any issues mechanically? Anything you don't like about the Micro RO?

Thanks!

Looking for input from others that are having major issues with drop lines pushing off of the Leader 5/16" Clear Seasonal Spout (LACSP). I'm a small "hobby" producer and have had about 1-2% of my...

I was notified yesterday that Vegetation Control Services, Inc. contracted by the New Hampshire Electric Co-op will be on my land in a couple weeks "applying" a herbicide under the power-lines that...

Leader put out about 48 MicRO 2 units this year into the market. Wondering how they are working out for those that purchased them? Curious, specifically about not having a wash cycle temp cut-off...

Not sure the answer to your question, but I'm definitely curious how the "new" Leader Micro 2 works out for you this year. They made 48 units when I looked into them and had sold every one. They...

I have a similar set-up on 475 taps. Two releasers about 900 feet from a 3hp Atlantic Fluid oil cooled liquid ring. Also, the vacuum is about 75 feet in elevation above the two releasers. I used 1...

Always enjoy your post! Good luck this year....

Actually, the filter is easy to change. Just remove your exhaust piping and then the cover for the reservoir. A single wing-nut bolt and base plate secure it under the cover. It is expense to...

Ok: I'm sure some of you are going to say this is obvious...but for the sake of others that have had no idea how the Oil Mist Filter (OMF) works on the Atlantic fluids Liquid ring...I thought I...

hung fitting is fine...you can also add a short piece of 1" mainline so it is just inside the tank.... My sense is that you will see it run better after this next freeze up and thaw. If your...

I've been running two gravity systems for a few years. On one of the two, I had a fairly gradual slope coming into the tank (3-4%). If the flow was sap flow was marginal, the 3/4 main line would...

1200 feet away from vacuum at the end of a Wet/Dry line.... Could not be happier!10956

Finished tapping yesterday (March 8th). That is the latest I've tapped. New vacuum this year! I have two small sugar bushes. Both with about 250 taps, one was rebuilt this year with Wet/Dry lines...

Perfect! That is the way it should be....

Yesterday, with occasional sun, no wind and 34 degrees... I'm thinking...wow, this is why I LOVE working out in the woods during sugaring season. Today, at 9 degrees and occasional snow showers...

Mark,

Yes, I use the NOAA site, but I just use the "Outlook Map" section... Not familiar enough with all the surface pressure jargon!

Look at NOAA's long range forecast for March. Continue to be below average temps for March. Of course things can change... and often do.. This year has been the year when temps are forecasted and...

Tapping in March! This will be a first for me... since it looks like our weather here in central NH will not be warming up until about the 4th week of March (22nd), I'm pushing back my tapping...

Good point Eric. I think the factory setting is 1, but a longer delay seems like it would be easier on the pump.

Ben,

I appreciate your comments about "sensor location". Totally makes sense. Currently, the sensor for the vacuum is on the south side of the sugar house up under the eve (out of the...

Question? I have a "new" vacuum set-up this year. Atlantic Fluids 3hp with a solid state starter controlled by a Johnson Controller thermostat. For those that have a thermostat on your vacuum...

April!

Not really, but there sure does not look any sugaring in the forecast for even March at this point!

Maybe....plenty of sun and warm.....hopefully the wind will not be too much of a factor!
