Wow, you are a glutton for punishment on driving. I'm the same way...took a business trip up to Boston about 5 years ago and "swung by" leader evaporator on my way back to the airport. 8O :lol:
...

Wow, you're not as old as I thought! :wink: I only got you by a few years.

You grab the posts so quick that you don't give me a chance to "polish" things up. I'm not trying to slip something by...

...They had typewriters back then? :lol: :lol:

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

One of secrets, as you mentioned, is that he boils sap the day it comes in if possible. That kills those boogies alot faster without letting them grow. Does create a hectic season if it just runs a...

...One other thing while i was talking to Matt the other night.

As seen in the latest Leader catalog and Matt's letter, he made 940 gallons of syrup last year, and about 700 of that was fancy from...

Not sure if it was a single lift or a combination. Might have been per lift. He was throwing around higher numbers so it might have been per lift.

My UV light went out a few hours ago. Will...

...Works the same way. Hence why Brad talked about 30' being about the limit.

So, is that why the gravity releaser posts kind of died out? Think I'm dizzy from running in circles here...

Aren't we, in the end, just creating a "maxed out" sap ladder here with the gravity releaser? The only way I can see to keep good vacuum plus use the gravity releaser is to bring the line in...

Yeah, Brad is who I called twice today. He said, from his experience, that after 14' of ladder height (either in a single or multiple ladders), that you have to put in an air leak to get any higher....

ZZZiiippp. Ouch, that hurt! :oops: Kind of like being at the end of the chain of people grabbing the electric fence, I guess.

Alright, I get the concept on 34'. 14.7 psi divided by 4.3 psi per...

P.S. Gee, it's too bad the UV light wasn't up for grabs on stuff like this. I know, this is too easy! :D

Was just reading that when I bounced back on the Trader and saw your post. Google is great. (except in China, :wink: )

What's better on the sap ladder concept is looking up how a coffee maker...

Alright Russ and Kevin - what was the final verdict on this? Were you able to get some vacuum at the trees or not? If so, how much?

As was mentioned earlier, could you use a PVC swing check at...

Thinking about this releaser a little more...

Appreciating that the laws of physics and gravity are constant, I was wondering how the 3" tower works.

Wonder if the secret to success is in the...
