re: Adding automatic opener to my gate

We have a mighty mule. You can get them at Home Depot or off of amazon. Mine is powered by a 35 amp/hr AGM battery and solar panel. It's been pretty trouble free. The control box got some ants in it but it was easy to diagnose and easy to fix. Pretty simple but it helps to be handy with small electronics because replacement control boards are a couple hundred dollars even though the parts themselves are cheap.
