We started tapping the sugar bush Wed. Had a short day with limited help. More of a shake down for the tapping equipment. Everything went well. Planned on Thurstay being a big day and it was inspite of an issue with the batteries in the farm tractor. While a couple of the guys chased down and installed new bats. The rest of us spent the morning tapping with my Case 440 and trailer carring The buckets and covers. This is a 60A sugar bush on limestone flat rock. By the end of today we had hung 2490 buckets, up 100 from last year. We used to hang 3500 buckets. We always tap this week in Feb., because school is out and we have some young and enthusiastic help, plus a couple of wives. There are 4 generations of family working side by side.

In the late afternoon one of the tappers started acting up, and was down for the count today while we finished up using just one. No sap is running as temps have not broken the freezing mark until this afternoon. It may be a short season. hardly any snow on the ground, and very little frost in the woods.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
