Picked up our 5,000 gallon tank with our new F-350. We’ll mount this tank to our flat bed truck as our primary sap hauling vehicle, then the F-350 will tow a 1000 gallon tank with 300 gallons in the bed as our auxiliary/backup. We plan to start tapping this weekend if the weather forecast holds, what a strange January we’ve had!

Our tractor is just able to lift this 4,000 gallon tank now that we’ve added some counterweight in addition to the loaded tires. We have 7 of this sized tank so now they’re much easier to move around than before when we dragged them around using chains.

Our new sap truck! Well new to us anyway, it does have 250,000+ miles on it. We’ll be attaching a 5,025 gallon poly tank to the bed once it arrives later today.
