It's been nearly 8 years since I installed the Mighty Mule MM550 at my house. It's hooked to an 18 foot steel gate, and it's powerful enough to get the job done.
4 years ago I made a long term review of it, and I'd recommend anyone interested in buying one of these go and watch that video as it covers all the hidden costs that you'll also need to set one of these up properly.
Now here we are years later and I figured I'd talk about reliability, durability and all the rest.
In the end, I have always felt it was a good investment. Good fences make for good neighbors!

You are very generous about mighty mule gate openers. I have been using them for nearly 30 years and the main problem they have is the board. While I do not call them junk, they are a serious problem.

I have had issues with the board from time to time. One time it was not the boards fault, but the ant nest that was built in the box with it.

Thanks Eric for sharing, we have two gates into our pastures, one on a service drive and one off our main drive. It would be far easier to get in and out with our mowers, tractor and vehicles.

Thanks for the follow-up, your original post might be how I found your channel to start with. Unfortunately, we get way too much snow for this kind of gate but still considering a lift bar or something.

I was able to add a bluetooth device to open my MM 571 gate. GarageMate has a phone app and they special-wired the bluetooth receiver to connect to the control board. Now I don't need the little opener device.

That's about what they last. Still a good option overall though.

Could you not hook one of the remotes to to an amp/antenna to open it from the house, or find what frequency it used and what tone/data it sends and replicate it? You could figure it out if you spent some time on it i'm sure. ( i know time is a precious commodity though)

What do you recommend for a Retractable "Rolling" Gate System? I dont have the room for a "Swinging" Driveway Gate...

it does well, we make sure to clean off the solar panel to make sure it gets enough of a charge to keep working. The cold and snow do not seem to bother it.

My personal opinion is when you mentioned the gate was already there..could it be this gate weight supercedes the gate opener..? Gates come in different weights..maybe a lighter weight one will work.....at that long length...something is over stressing your panel box...maybe the manufacture never took in the account that older gates may come with a much heavier metal...? This is just my opinion...

Hello friend, I bought the same one, I assembled it today and it is extremely slow, you can barely see it moving, could you help me?
@FarpointFarms
@FarpointFarms 7 месяцев назад
check your available battery voltage. These get slow when they run below 12.2 Volts.

Does your gate make a noise when it opens? Alarm? Is there a way to turn it off?
@Monica-oc9cs
@Monica-oc9cs 2 года назад
There is a wire you unplug and removes the noise, just to troubleshoot plug back and remove when done. There is many vodeos to show you exactly which one

What were both board failures? Moisture intrusion?

I think one time it might have been ants- The other one I am not sure- The housing stays dry so maybe just age. it is still worth it

Steve driveway why on earth would you want an 18 foot gate unless you have a combine coming through?
