Hello All. I operate a hobby maple farm and I'd like to make some improvements to my sap collection process. Right now I use my Kubota BX2200 and I tow a 55 gallon tank in a small dump cart. This is our first year using reverse osmosis so the sap collection and planning of boils has changed a bit. For next year I'd like to start collecting sap using my Kioti CK2610, so I was thinking of getting a set of pallet forks that I could set a collection tank on and then unload sap from that tank to where the reverse osmosis is set up. My current system results in some down time as we fill up our holding tanks and then have to wait while the RO processes the sap down to concentrate. Adding the Kioti to the operation would allow us to keep collecting sap while the RO is running, and we would continue to use the kubota to run the concentrated sap to the sugar house for boiling.
So after that long winded background, lol, my question is will a 100 gallon collection tank full of sap (~800 pounds) be ok for the Kioti? I believe it should handle it relatively easy but just wanted to double check with the experts.
Thanks!
