I've collected about 50 gallons from 80 Red Maples on vacuum in the last 2 days.

Mason 2x4 w/raised flue pan, 240 gal. sap tank, 80 Reds on 5/16 tubing and Lunchbox releaser/pump, 20 sugars on buckets
Been running well. There is probably 350 gallons in my tanks. Hoping for 500-600 by Friday night / Saturday. Last boil on Saturday!
1980 - 6 taps, stone fire pit, drain pan evaporator, 1 pint of syrup
2016 - 55 taps on 3/16 and gravity, new sugar shack, 2x3 Mason XL, 16 gallons of syrup
2017 - 170 taps on 3/16, 2x4 Mason XL, NextGen RO. 50 gallons of syrup
2018 - 250+ taps on gravity and buckets, 2x5 Smokey Lake arch and Beaverland pan.
2019 - 250+ taps on gravity. A few buckets. 35 gallons of syrup.
2020 - 300+ taps on gravity. 50 gallons of syrup.
2021 - 280 taps on gravity and 40 buckets. 35 gallons of syrup.
I'm still collecting. The sap has been running decent for my trees down in the CT River Valley to very well for my trees in Woodstock. It looks like they will take a break the next couple of days and then come back over the weekend.
