Machinist since '84, farmed with my dad before that, help out the neighbor that rents the farm now. Also my uncle says I am also a good jack of all trades, master of none.
Building a 24"x67" evaporator with 24"x33" drop flue pan and air blower for the fire. Only tapped 10 trees this year but an going to try and get 60-75 tapped next year (maybe more). Use an M Farmall with loader for most of the wood moving plus a Cockshutt 40, that I put an International V-8 truck engine in, that use with tank on 3 point carrier to haul water and now sap.
