that's interesting mike.... when we asked cdl what to use for my test run last fall, they said to use town water as that is what they use to do their washes with.

I had a set-up from lapierre with the wallenstein pump. not exactly sure of the cfm, but it had a 13 hp honda also. very happy with it....pulled a solid 24-25 inches all year and did not get very...

I like 30P but have also had good luck with CDL Semi-rigid when it's cold out.

Maple upside-down cake is excellent too!! don't know the recipe, but i know that's what it's called.

Mike, Good to hear it's still running for you. even after that freeze here the sap ran but nothing special. i hear there are people down your area that are considering calling it quits? our last...

vacuum sap has been between 1.3 and 1.6. gravity tubing has been between 2.2 and 2.7. and buckets have been between 3.4 and 3.8 with a couple individual trees hitting 4%.

I have 1500 taps as of right now and it is slowly increasing. and we have made 78 so far. roughly close to 1000 is on vacuum. the rest gravity tubing.

I think we have the same or similar machine and I put my membranes in the machine and do a rinse for about 15-20ish minutes with warmish well water from our milking parlor(roughly 100 or so gallons)....

Amber Gold,

I currenly have a 300gph Lapierre w/2 4" columns with the NF 270 membranes. If you can somehow afford it, I would strongly suggest getting a 600. You will be much happier with it's...

Like Russ said...Don't worry about boiling raw sap because once you use the RO, you'll never go back!!! Not only do you save tremendously on fuel and time but it seems like everything just flows and...

Mine is a 5.5 hp red one and have had no trouble what so ever. this year I'll be running a 13 hp honda and next year I will hopefully be running both of them.

Had to be a gallon or 1.25 gallon??? it is what ever the stock tank size is. I can't exactly remember. just that every 6ish hours i would go and fill it as long as it was above 28-30 degrees.

The 5.5hp honda i used the last 2 years on my vacuum would run a little over 6 hrs. on the stock gas tank like clockwork. it was not quite full throttle, maybe about 3/4.

Paid $550 for my used d&g maybe 5-6 years ago. had to make my own stand for it but it did have kind of it's own frame. then after filtering roughly 1000-1200 gallons of syrup i had to put a new...

If the tank had flamable liquids in it deffinitely don't hit it with sparks right away. try to flush it out and then make sure the bungs are out of it to relieve any pressure. I welded on a 55...

The close ones will also be vendors at the show so you will be able to contact them there.

i would say you could get to at least 2 in 15 minutes and 2 more in a 1/2 hour or so. so yeah, realitively close.

with my 2 1/2x8 and making 400+ gallons a year i only quicly clean my flue pan twice in a season and there is niter on the pans but not real bad. but my syrup pans sometimes i can get only 10-15...

interesting....it sounds like you are saying that pre-heated combustion air is more efficient. I may be wrong, but I always thought that cold cumbustion air is more efficient because colder air has...

when our 2.5x8 was stock (natural draft, open pans with no hoods or pre-heater) we were around 20 gals. per cord. but now with forced draft, pre-heater, reverse osmosis we are around 70 gals. per...

A 350 B had dry steering clutches and a 350 E I believe had wet clutches. And a 350 D i'm not sure but somewhere in there is when deere changed from dry to wet. And yes biggest difference is age.

I'm running a delaval 75, same pump but a size or 2 bigger, with no trouble after 2 years. I've been pulling 18" with it for 2 years with the stock oil system. anything more than 18" it'll get too...

I have a single vertical bernard and used it for 2 seasons so far. I lubed the moving parts at the beginning of each season with the tube of whatever it came with and have had not a bit of trouble. ...

431 gals. 1400 taps. Mostly Fancy and Medium amber. But some of everything.

431 gallons, 1400 taps. roughly 2/3 of the crop was fancy, then most of the remainder was medium amber. very little dark amber and grade B, then 21 gallons of commercial. .3 gals./tap. excellent...
