"The product is very easy to install and I have not had any trouble with its operation. I do not believe I could find a opener as reliable as this one for the money. The larger transmitters are a little weak though otherwise I would rate it a full 5 stars"

Gate Opener,
August 11, 2008
By Archfrom Georgia
"The Mighty mule has been a great purchase. I added the sensor for automatic opening> The installation was easy except the sensitivity for the the automatice opener was factory set very high and big trucks running down the road would cause it to open, corrected once I installed the sensitivity control. The only complaint was the noise the gate made opening, there is no grease inside the piston(screw) and it was loud, I corrected by opening the unit and adding axle grease. The factory should add lubricant to save the consumer the trouble."

"I have had my gate opener for over 3 years. While it has never failed, the opening and closing cycles are soo sloow!! I would not buy another due to the slow speed."
