      my woods are in good shape now. I found all of the big leaks but need to wait until the sap runs for the small ones. The tapper works good. Now that I have it right side up I like it a little more.

    Still have a few weeks to go in central VT. Weather would be good this week, but still too early , especially with below zero in the forecast. Looking towards the 4th week of February into march for tapping. Hopefully it will be good!

      I'm early and will hold off on the other three woods. Hope fully I can get the leaks taken care of before it really kicks off.

      Do I purchase one from your website ? Have you made any review on them

      I don't have equipment on my website. I can invoice you and you can pay from that but I need a shipping address to figure shipping. I have talked about them a few times in the videos. I have 3 or 4 guys that have them and they all like them.

    When do you typically tap? Are you turning vacuum on?

    • @dunnfamilymaple
      @dunnfamilymaple  8 місяців тому

      I start in January usually as we get warm being so close to the coast. Vacuuming is on when it warms up. I turned it on Monday and will shut it off if we get a cold stretch.

    The cost of the Exactap or Precision tapper is to high particularly for small operations. The money could be better used upgrading your processing equipment.

    • @dunnfamilymaple
      @dunnfamilymaple  8 місяців тому +1

      Yes they are high, it is all what the producer wants though. Who are we to tell them what they need? All I can do is give them my opinion on the product.

    You have the tapper upside down on the drill.

    • @dunnfamilymaple
      @dunnfamilymaple  8 місяців тому

      I figured that out the other day when I was setting up a Milwaukee drill. It worked but I’m interested to see if it makes a difference

      Also if you want to maintain an inch and a 1/2 put the spikes back to were you had them and move the outer ones out
