Couldn't have been easier,

March 7, 2007

By acejewell

from Tucson, AZ

"August 2006 I completed building a home for my 84 year old mother on the south end of my property. She loved the home but complained about having to stop and open her gate each time she left the property and returned. I finally broke down and purchased the Mighty Mule Dual Swing. Aside from the modification of the existing chain link gate, the installation could not have been easier. The instructions were clear and consise. Mounting the openers and leveling was a breeze. Installing the cables was simple. The gate stops were easily calibrated and the operation so far has been flawless. I am so impressed with the product I may gate my end of the property as well!"

Unclear wiring instructions, loud, not bad,

August 12, 2008

By theweis

from upstate NY

"Decent for the price, died in first electrical storm.
Also, very noisy when running. Hardware included is pretty loose fitting, Make sure you have extra washers to get slack out of all the links, otherwise it's hard to get it lined up and close repeatedly with gates lined up properly.

I would not recommend these for an aethetically important location, these are pretty utilitarian. Large black plastic cylinders, loud in operation, and remote doesn't have much range. I should have gone with a higher end system."

A Big Mistake,

August 11, 2008

By Anonymous

from Rural Kentucky

"Despite what I had read this is not really a DIY job unless either your installation is simple or you are at the semi-pro level. While the product's tech support is good, the installation process, particularly if the installation is on a pre-existing gate is not for the faint of heart. If your driveway is in place, plan on an expensive exercise in cutting underneath it to install the slave gate. I had a conduit already in place, but the limitations in length meant that it was not useable (and there isn't anywhere in the literature that makes that point self-evident) so it was back to square one, with the need to bore under the driveway, which is blacktop, so that the total length required for the cable, including risers to reach the mounted control boxes, did not exceed 40 feet. If you don't know much about it, contractors want between $600-$1000 to bore a 4" (or smaller) hole underneath a 25' wide driveway. Or you can of course take the approach that we are trying, and buy a Borit product to drill the hole and put in the non-metallic conduit and remain within the 40' limit. The 40' limit doesn't seem that bad until you add in the 6' of riser (3' on each side), plus getting to them on the surface after passing under the driveway. You end up with about 28' of useable conduit space. Figure on about $400-$500 for the equipment necessary just to tunnel under a concrete or blackto driveway and add that cost on to the acquisition cost of the product, extended warranty, solar panels, etc. Then, even when that is overcome, if your fence post where the gates are mounted are not at 90deg. to the direction of travel plan on about another $100 to buy some other mounting hardware to solve that problem. Notably, while the cost of the initial unit is fairly reasonable, their additional parts are not. They want $50 for a simple bracket and you may end up needing two of the. The only upside I can see to the whole process, and we are three months into it and not finished, or even close, yet, is excellent tech support guys. They do go the extra mile to help out and will work with you to resolve problems with some unique and innovative approaches to making the product work for you and getting it done. All in all, if I had it to do all over again I'd bite the bullet and leave the job to a professional. In the end I think I'm going to lose fairly significantly in terms of cost comparison, even without counting the hours I've had to spend on it, or placing any value on them. It looks like if you are starting from scratch and can get the conduit in before you blacktop or concrete the driveway, and you can have the kit on hand before you put in the gates, and the posts to hold them you may be okay. Or if you are a very clever, or experienced individual who has done a lot of fences and gates some of the tools you need specifically for this job may be on hand, and of course contractors will have the laborers to put in much of the "sweat equity" into the project. If one or more of these criteria are not met, and you are not exceptionally handy with tools, etc., be smart and either buy this kit and hire a professional to do the installation work, or just contract out the whole project"

Mighty Mule Model#FM502,

January 22, 2008

By jeffw

from Pelham, AL.

"As an ex-dairy farmer I look for the weakest in everything I purchase in today disposable society. Never would I have thought, that the Mighty Mule, Dual Swing, Automatic Gate Opener, Model#FM502 would give me a second thought about quailty ,workmanship, performance and most of all the power of this manufactures product. The Installation of this gate opener was a breeze. It took me longer to do my dishes., and I've got a dish washer. If today I were still on the farm and knowing the abuse farm hands and farm animals can dish out, this gate opener would be my #1 chose. It's been along time since I've been able to purchase or even find such an exceptional piece of equipment. Thanks, this was money well spent."

502 GTO,

September 21, 2007

By wooddr58

from Walterboro, South Carolina

"I have and currently use the 502 GTO product. Even though I did not install the device I have since had to make several adjustments and found it to be quite easy. The product has been in use now approx. 5 years and until recently have had no major problems. The master arm has stopped working. It tries to close but it sounds like the gear is stripped. Iam currently tring to order a new replacement. I would recommend this product because in comparison to other systems which are much more expensive , more complicated to install and maintain, this product really gives you your bang for the buck.
Thank You"
