That friend I referred to in reply #2 in this thread, is a Sunrise dealer. He is Mike Weaver, Heritage Maple in Canastota, NY. He is Amish, thus no website, but he does have a business phone. If you get The Maple News, he is listed there. His phone number is 315-697-3904. You will not get an answer there on a Sunday, but he works 6 days a week.
I sold him one lease that as I got older and cut back on my taps, he bought the lease. When I say he is a "friend", back when I had cancer in Jan-April 2018, he called me every few days to see if I needed help and to wish me well. I had met him 3-4 years earlier, as I was working my lines, getting ready for a season, he drove by on his tractor and firewood wagon, he pulled over, walked across a field and introduced himself. Since then I have bought some parts and supplies from him. He even loaned me his drop maker to help me make 800 drops faster this past Jan, free of charge. Oh, and I drove him, his wife and infant son to Saratoga Springs last fall to go to the maple tour. Great guy! If you call and no answer, leave a message, he does return calls. He also builds sheds, I've bought 3 of them, a 12x16, a 10x14 and a 14x28.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
