As I posted Friday, we got our sap buckets all hung. Temp reached 54F yesterday, and it is 37F now. I went up and checked the buckets. They hold 16qts. They ranged from a third full to 3/4 full across the front of the woods. Tomarrow will be a big day. I suspect the buckets will be full, or near full by tomarrow morning when we start gathering. There will be well over 6,000gal of sap to gather tomarrow. We have 3550gals of storage includeing the gathering tanks, so once the evaporators are loaded with sap in the morning,they will be imediately fired. the 2 evaporators hold about 220gal. We are supposed to drop back down in temp some next week so the sap flow will slow down, maybe, but who knows with this years weather. As you can see in the pics., there is no snow. We could have a fast and fourious 10 day season or it could be a bust if the weather comes off wet and warm. The last pic is from Friday. The last bucket hung for 2016. 2490 buckets hung. Loren

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
