    There was someone on one of the maple facebook groups that was selling adapter fittings they make for milk tanks a month or two ago. I think they were out of New York somewhere.

    Well Hamby helped him figure it out and we ordered the fitting. Also found out that the sample valve we have that came with the tank is $600 for a rebuilt one and $1200 new. Planning to mount it in the new sugar shack as an example of how to make money in syrup……get lucky

    I bought two small milk tanks this past summer, a 200 gallon and a 140 gallon. They both came with heavy duty valves, and all the round lid covers. I paid a $100 each for the tanks. It certainly helps to get lucky. lol
