i got mine right through H2O dealer, countryside hardware.
they put out very little to no oil, as long as the exhaust filter is properly maintained.
best thing you will like over that delaval is that the pumps are whisper quiet as compared to the 73...
don't be afraid to run that releaserr at 28.5", theyre built to run there and they actually seem to be more reliable at higher vacuum.
a big thing with the rotary vane pumps like this is having a...
plugging them back in also seems to help keep the chews down. i had one woods that the deer wrecked half the drops chewing on them when they were hanging, the looped ones seem to be less likely to be...
drones have come down in cost a lot but by the time you get a drone with a good enough camera that you could read the vac gauge well and still control it through the trees in slightly less than...
so what's the timeline on production/availability to producers?
You can definetely re-use the tubing. one thing i've learned from taking down a section every year- if you can keep them organized, next year will be less agonizing for you. i coil mine and zip tie...
every time i work on it and see the inside i wonder. haven't come up with much of a solution yet, i was thinking of trying to run a cleaning cycle with oxisan in a loop somehow but i'm not sure how...
air bubbles getting trapped in the oil before it really gets hot enough to ve viscous and let them out quickly would be my guess. thicker oil makes a little better seal too, so should see good...
heat with torch, then use mainline cutter or linemans pliers to flare the end a little, then reheat a tad, push on and double clamp. have been doing it this way for a while, i do all my 1" by hand...
i sent you a message, i might be able to help you out.
Factory glue is gold can Oatey, which is clear pvc cement. that was the answer when i asked Leader about it last year, as i had a bad fitting.
a small reverse slope releaser might work, or a cdl sap lift. then you can have just one system and one tank.
key is to make it simple and less maintenance, and you will be more satisfied with the...
overall, a pretty good press.
the 15 plate version has as much or more capacity than a full bank 10" press, i can get 4 barrels out of a set of papers if the syrup is clean. pretty much impossible...
i was suprised, but not surprised at the same time. if you look back, it's kind of been in process for a year or 2
Ken, thats a brilliant idea with the cable. i'm going to try that out for my next addition, its quite high up a tree with a sap lifter at the bottom. what are you using for anchors in the top of the...
M&M,
i find your location to be hilarious.
Guessing probably 250-300 gph depending on how its set up. problem with that might be that its set up 50/50 syrup/flue pan, usually that's a setup for higher concentrate, so may not get what youre...
yes needs to be warm. i had one in a small 4x4x5 box, with a pilot light on a buddy heater and it keeps it 40* in there all the time. now i put a 120v outlet in there so i could have a place to...
Lew, is that your woods on CR3 in Greene/smithville flats? been wondering whose that was for a couple years, looks like a nice woods.
whereabouts around smithville flats are you? i'm in that area a...
bascom's the other day was 2.60 for GD, 2.50 for AR, 2.40 for DR, and 2.00 for VD. we will certainly see what happens through the season.
good luck! make lots of sap!
you'll like that atlas copco pump, they work excellent and are extremely quiet. let us know how you like that vacuum protection valve, although i hope you never need...
CDL still makes electrofusion fittings, pipe, etc. its right in the mainline section of their catalog. also, the spin seals they have are a type of fusion, although the friction welding is different...
maple tubing holds shape better, has uv resistance to it, and is generally going to be cheaper per ft.
look for a good semi rigid, like h20, lapierre, cdl, or i have had good luck with leader...
also, you will notice a big difference based on the trees you tap. i can tap 1000 sugar maples in a day and go through 2 batteries but if i do 1000 of my red maples, the softer wood seems to work the...
