Dave Syrup production is based on the number of taps rather than acres. Weather and orientation are major factors in regard to production. For instance if the trees are on a southern slope, they produce earlier than those on a northern slopes. The size and age ot the trees also affect sap production, as does the density of trees in a given area. trees with a girth of about 16-20" are prime producers, but larger trees with healthy tops will suport multipal taps. We only put multiple taps in trees that a person can't reach around and touch fingers. Weather is the biggest factor. Day to night temp ranging from 20's at night to 40's during the days is ideal. Snow cover is also a contributing factor as well as how far the frost embedded during the winter.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
