It likely wasn't the voltage but rather the phase difference wasn't enough. And split phase 240 volts you have two opposite 180° out of phase bus lines. With three phase they are only 120° out of phase so the voltage difference is even less then you would expect from the 208 volts. Probably the inverter didn't like the fact that the phase difference wasn't 180° between two connections on the three phase bus.

Yeah the old diesel fuel seems to be a big subject of talk on the smokestack form. They're always talking about having to add biosides and lubricants because the modern low sulfur diesel doesn't lubricate the injectors like the old diesel fuel did and it also is prone to bacterial growth in the fuel tank. Then you got to worry about water separation. My advice would be keep the tank full and use good quality fuel.

Thanks for watching! A drill adapter is not included. The link for the one used is in the description if you're interested. You might want to consider the heavy duty (HD50) one rated for impact use as the one shown in the video is not. Impact drivers can install larger anchors and in more difficult ground and won't twist your arm off in the process!

Thanks for watching! The HF and SL units in the video are both holding up fine. However, I have other units installed that have not being doing as well, both HF and SL. At this point, the SL units *seem* to have a very slight strength advantage for their structure (their pipe frames), but the only way to confirm for sure is replacing the HF ones with SL ones in the same locations and have the SL units experience the same weather conditions which may not occur again. The HF units are suffering from piping failures and usually where they are not protected as well from the wind from surrounding objects like trees. Snow loads have been a problem when storms bring 8-10 inches *sometimes*. But again, they are very close in capability and *IF* the SL has an advantage it is so minimal that I don't think it would make a difference from a practical standpoint. It's kind of like having two cars with one getting 30 mpg and the other getting 31 mpg. Yes, on a 1000 mile trip you might save $5 using the car that gets 31 mpg but as far as one car making it the distance and the other not, it's only under conditions that are in such a precise window you'll likely never experience it. If you can, try to keep the units out of direct sunlight and wind as much as possible. Those two factors are the most detrimental to their lifespan, especially the covers and both brands behave similarly.

I just ordered an alternator for my G4200H, but I have a question on the wiring for the two spade terminals on the alternator. When I search other videos for "wiring three wire alternator", like this video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLGJp5ufydy-iZc.html&ab_channel=VehicleFreak ), they all seem to just jumper one of the spade terminals to the main output post right on the alternator. The other spade terminal wire goes to indicator light, and then the wire after the indicator light goes to the switched power on the ignition switch. Is this the same for doing this mod on the Kubota?

Thanks for watching! Because I have only done one of two of hese and it's been a few years I'd recommend deferring to the wiring instructions for the alternator which hopefully comes with it. Not all alternators have the same wiring but if the alternator you're getting is the same as the one in my video then I would wire it up the same as in my video. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

No. You didn't teach anything good. Mount it on a heavy plate of aluminum with fine 3/8 bolts. Don't use ether. It's way too easy to blow up the motor. I just wired the decompress lever up and cranked to clean out air. Use only 15W40 oil and real diesel fuel. I honed a 3/4 to 1 inch shaft sleeve to mount a big pulley. Cold weather? A kettle of hot water poured slowly right on the top of the cylinder. It wants a long gentle break in. Avoid the slowest and highest speeds.

One thing I noticed on my canopy/tent/carports is on my HF the condensation is awful. Dry when it's raining, but when it's cold out, it will actually be raining on the inside, while it's dry outside. The shelter logic does not have that issue. Less ventilation maybe?

The HF fabric only lasted a year and I replaced it with a Dayton tarp (16x30) and that lasted a year - but then I got a hay tarp from Murdocks and that lasted 3 years and now I see that I have to replace it again. I just put the new ones right over the old one and that adds a lot of strength - we have had some heavy snow and that idea seems to work best. The frame is great and I sunk some PT 4x4 beams in the ground and ran some long threaded rod from them up to the bottom of the frame and the wind has not been able to move or bend anything in over 7 years.

I had an older HF one up for years! You used to be able to buy a replacement cover for it, then they changed the style. I don't recall now how big it was. I used it to store hay. I just put a new 20x20 tarp on it every year. The frame is still in good condition. It's all slip joints. It doesn't have the anchor pins, but instead has pegs that go in the ground through the frame. Currently, I'm not using it, so I took it down. I'm planning on moving this year. Once I do, I'll be using the framework to build a greenhouse.

After a few of my own, and putting up SL and knock-off fabric shelters, I find the SL ones have a better assembly scheme, but the knock-offs are fine, if slightly more annoying. After dealing with the fabric replacement, while I’m sure the “premium” fabrics at their price would hold up fine (I’ve got a ‘professional’ fabric quonset that’s going on 10 years), when the fabric shreds on the current units under my care, I’m going to source some steel roofing or siding, and just screw the metal right to the frame. I’ve done this once already, and it turned out very rigid, and handles wind and snow just fine.

I can add a couple “cons” to the HF side. That white coated frame will rust and bend in just a few years, you’ll find yourself drilling and adding bolts or rivets to hold it together and having to dispose of the shredded cover in a year or two. The Shelter Logic is much higher quality overall. The SE cover’s not much better but you can buy a upgraded cover, for a price. After replacing the standard cover twice in 6 years, l upgraded to the top of the line cover. This cover is expensive but but there’s no comparison, my shelter has been up for 12 years and still has many more to go. Even with the upgraded cover the cost is still a fraction of what a more permanent shelter would be and can be quickly removed and stored if need be.

I have a Shelter Logic one set up 4 years ago, didint use the provided anchors as the corners were in too rocky spots, did set the frame on 5x20cm beam/balk to lift it up alittle and was easyer to level and square it out. plus could anchor it from that in any place i wanted, wind it not a major issue as it sits behind bigger structure to cover most of the heavy winds, the sun indeed have eated up the cover, sides are ok, on top i did lay a load cover, as one part have ripped, not sure im conna get a new cover, meybe install roofing sheets instead, did manage do find a 2nd door, so i can open up front and back the same time, that is quite nice

I have a shelter logic shed that I have had for five years two things I did I purchased 2x6 for the shed to set on then anchored the 2x6 to the ground with re rod then naturally anchored the shed tubing to the 2x6, As far as the door I put a pice a pvc tubing in the bottom of the door then it is easy to roll up when you open it.

Hows the UV protection over the years? I bought a 12x12 gazebo and the roof rotted out in one year from the sun UV what a waste of money. So we bought a 12x12 gazebo from Cosco's oh and the cost was higher but its been up four years now metal roof all cedar uprights still going strong.

I have experience with both HF and Shelterlogic. I have a pile of broken frame parts, and deteriorated covers from HF. The frames fold under wind load, and as others have noticed, the material is subject to UV deterioration. I paid the higher price and bought the heavy duty frame from SL. The SL has withstood several years of wind storms and snow load. Considering the limited life of the HF, I think my SL has proven to be a better value over time. I received a wrong part from SL, and they immediately replaced within a couple of days, I am glad that others have had good luck with HF; my experience was different.

They hate the california sunlight and heat though. UV sunlight breaks down the plastic tarp material after a year or two, it becomes very easy to tear. I'd suggest aluminum paint. The silver blocks the sun quite well. Titanium white is not bad either lets indirect light in. Latex type. The homeless learned that even a huge cardboard box pained well stands up to weather fairly well.
