Very nicely done. That's gonna be fun to get fired up and get into the Grove of running everything.
I like the tractor too.

2020 New 2x4 divided pan ready to get away from the headache that is steam table pans
2021 off year due to pandemic and projects

Being built into the bank was done for two reasons, gravity for sap but also easier to keep the ro room from freezing and also have all the walls concrete to be washable.

Marc, the set up looks great. You've really expanded since I've been up there. I took two years off and back at it this year. I got side tracked and scorched my syrup pan today... grrr. I had about two gallons of finished syrup. I'm such a knucklehead. Oh well, back at it tomorrow when things cool down, see if I can't fix it with a little vinegar and steel wool
Sugerin' since 2005
75-150 taps some on vac
