Automatic Gate Opener Suggestions

[MRollins10]

Howdy Yall. Looking for input from anyone that has an automatic gate opening system. I am considering this one due to really great reviews: Amazon.com: Ghost Controls TSS1XP Heavy-Duty Solar Single Automatic Gate Opener Kit for Swing Gates Up to 2 Feet (ft.): Home Improvement

I have read some nightmare issues with the one Tractor Supply carries. The Mighty Mule. So that one worries me. Just curious if anyone has suggestions on this.

'for gates up to 2 feet'? You want an opener for a walk/pass gate? Or for a driveway?

I have a Mighty Mule for a 15' gate on my driveway and it works fine. Can be set to swing in or out. Remote range is a bit flakey sometimes and there is an issue in very cold temperatures (under 20 degrees or so) that I haven't been able to figure out.

I believe the best is by a company that is now named NICE.

Quick update on the Ghost Controls gate openers. I puchased two of the to open my gates. One at the bottom pasture and one to come into my yard. They are amazing. I have them set up with solar panel and batteries since i do not have electricity down where each of them are. They work flawlessly and now i dont have to get out to open my gates! The gate opener works an extremely long distance. I can open the lower pasture gate from about 200 yards away.

Nice is the owner of Apollo Gate Openers.
Very good gate opener company.
Can be solar powered.
