Back when I had about 100 buckets I took a 55 gal plastic food grade barrel and cut it to slight above 1/2 the height. As I emptied the buckets into that barrel, which was positioned off the back of my truck, on the ground I paid attention to how full it got, Then when it was nearly full I carried 2 more buckets full and set them near that barrel. I then started a 1" gas powered pump I had (aluminum housing, never used for any other use) and then as it pumped I dumped the remaining 2 buckets in. The pump moved the sap to a tank in the bed of my truck. The 1st year it was a 125 gal leg tank, the second year it was a 165 gal leg tank. I only did that 2 seasons. After that I had all tubing, running into large tanks on the ground. From those I pumped to a 275 gal IBC tote. In year 2 of that I carried 1 tote in the bed of my 3/4 ton truck and pulled a trailer with another IBC. At that point I had gotten a 1.5" Honda pump (WX15) to move sap faster. After 4-5 years of that I bought a gooseneck trailer and hauled 3 IBC totes. I could have hauled 4 IBC totes but never felt the need to.
You will find that hauling a partially full tank is not easy. Back when I hauled 3 IBC totes, with an F350 4x4 HD, I always filled 1 tank to the top before putting any in the next tank. Had I hauled all 3 partially full I would have had problems controlling the truck with all of the surging as the sap sloshed around while driving (and especially when trying to stop).
By the way Bill15kv, videos are welcome as long as they are relevant and generally they are best if they are yours, some video's are copyrighted and you may need permission to post them.
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.
