We run a Becket burner. 4.5gpm hollow 45 degree nozzle on our 30x8. Stack length arch/pan design all change how things burn. Nozzles are cheap enough buying several to try is what we did.

If the weather pattern continues it should be a good year, warm cold every other week. We've been lucky enough to make almost half of what we did last year already.

Run stopped today. Good start to the season tapped last Saturday and have made over 45 gallons so far. A few(5) hundred left to process tomorrow.

Simply put From a business aspect it doesn't make sense for us. We successfully have retailed every drop and there is more demand. We watch profit margins And hours spent.

More continuous vacuum...

Pre Season update.
We're gearing up for the season. Added 150ft to driveway and installed culvert to make a horseshoe driveway for maple weekend parking. Ditched the shurflow and 3/16 replaced with...

In that first link it's S3 and S15. We haven't taken it apart but it leaks out on the shaft.

Im looking to replace the rear seal on our Oberdorfer NL4000L pump that is on a Grimm 7" filter press. the seal blew out the back and leaks. When i contacted Oberdorfer they wanted me to buy the kit...

Some of our prices were 2 dollars off others were like 6. Varied by product. Ours is bottled in glass the competition had only jugs.

Yes we were approached. They do create heavy traffic so I...

We were approached by a farm store directly across the road. It's our first year officially selling with a name and not just peddling on Facebook. I'm unsure of what our numbers will be and makes me...

We've been getting about .75 gallon of sap a tap last week without the freezes and the sugar is low. Hopefully this week is better.
A few reds are swelling but we definitely have a week more.

we used plywood, some threaded rod, a scrap plastic molding piece cut into a triangle and a hook. used some washers and some lock nuts. works great!


I tried to attach a picture but it wouldn't...

Do you operate it with a float switch? I'm having a hard time finding a DC float switch.

Thanks

We had 2 set-ups last year. One was in under the woods, the other out in the open. Significant difference in charging ability of the two areas. Both had 2 - 100 watt panels. The open set-up with...

Much appreciated for the awesome schematic!

We bought a 330 pump with a 1.5 hp motor to upgrade. Carl we did consider your set up but wanted to be able to expand more and have the more powerful setup for possibly 3 membranes. I actually was...

Does any one have a schematic on setting up a 2 post 4 x 40 RO? I've seen 1 post with a recirculation line. I'm not sure if I can set it up like the RO Bucket we had last year with 4 membranes in...

In ballston the reds budded a few weeks ago. The sugars still haven't Budded and are still producing but the sap spoils so fast it's no use.

Collected 325 gal of sap on Sunday. There was 220+ before the freeze yesterday. Hoping the freeze recharges the trees.

Those Suzuki carrys are cool I was just looking into them an NY is cracking down on their road legal status.

The other option for spreading weight and gaining traction is a set of tracks for a...

Put 70 out on Tuesday afternoon then 80 on Wed. Will ad another 50 when it warms up again.

I think sizing a sap hauler to the amount of sap you will be moving would be ideal. Our plan this year is to use a small trailer to haul a 275 ibc with the 2wd 1951 ferguson. We've used a grizzly atv...

We tapped on Feb. 20th (Monday). About 60 taps collected 160 (4.75 gallons of syrup) for a boil on that Thursday. Nothing flowing really from Friday to Sunday. Sunday to Tuesday collected 120...
