Only Cub Cadets - What did you do with your Cub Today?

Spent most of today running sugaring tubing with the 1711. We have over a foot of snow in the woods but with the help of a mini dozer I built a few years ago and the 1711 I was able to plow a road down back and start setting up for the next sap run. Will be using the 1711 to haul sap as well.

Nice 1711 and thanks for the pic!

Sorry if this is off topic (yes the color is wrong). Here is the mini-Dozer.

As for sugaring. Trees are tapped in the late winter to spring. The sap runs best with freezing nights and above freezing days. Once the trees bud you are done. Collected close to 700 gals of sap last year to make just over 14 gals of maple syrup.

1711 hauled all the sap.

Should have put this one up yesterday. Here is photo from last year with the 1711 set up to haul sap. Back rack was built to hold 3 - 7 gal water jugs.

That is one very cool crawler!
Enjoy hearing about the sugaring and fantastic to hear about cubs working for a living.
