The first issue I had with my 372w system was the gates would open and wouldn’t close the gates. I had a control board from a previous system that broke during a wind storm. When I went to remove the control board, I found one of the operator wires on the board was loose. I tightened it and checked the rest of the terminals and voila! It now works perfectly. Check your connections!

Just weld it on there. That way they have to take the whole hitch apart

When towing as well as high wind stabilization.

hi i am here because of school.

Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Phone Holder for your Mule 600

Spanners? Better than grips on brass!

Need all sizes. Going to keep the 20 year old keyed one for quik change. Saves time. Etc.

Yes trail a $50k boat park it in the hood with that bolt and nut and see how long it last. No ones coming to your house in the boonies

I've been doing this for years using a grade 8 bolt but add a large flat washer under the bolt head and before the lock washer and nut. I'm not risking my expensive Airstream using those cheap locking pins made in china. More people need to know about this better alternative.

DANGER. High tensile bolts snap from side pressure. Mild steel is safer as they will flex not snap like a carrot.. High tensile is for pulling Metal parts together..only..

How is breaker attached?

@3:32 -- Looks like an excellent job.

I’m going with shoddy installation

How can I do this 50 ft tree? Or is it not possible

IVE BEEN CHASING THIS CHANNEL AND VIDEOS FOR LIKE THREE YEARS TRYING TO FIND YOU! Anyway I have a couple questions and I hope you can help me. so first did you get permits and an engineer sign and stamp the plans for your container shop? what size rods were they? I have a very similar design and decided to go with the helical piers after watching your video and finally got a local contractor and the rest of the work im doing myself.

No axle swap, it's the same axle as a f350, just change the hubs, which they sell with the flares on Amazon 😂 I own one, towes 14k so dually is for the 2k pounds of tongue weight the trailer adds to the back. Same as a dually truck, same frame same motor same transmission just a different body.

Really should consider changing the name of video

Bad azz!!!!😮

Broke my lock hitch pin off with a pipe soooooo easyyyyy i think i will go with this now.

Does a person have to worry about one of these locking hitch pins breaking and just falling out instead of worrying about theft? Let me know what you think? I just switched.

FYI hitch pins have a rated shear strength. Graded bolts have a rated tension strength. The two are NOT THE SAME and graded bolts DO NOT HAVE THE SAME SHEAR STRENGTH! Dangerous video

Just weld a pin on there😂

I just got done making something like this, I used the max7219 led display though. It works on space heaters too.

Thanks again. 6 years later and I needed to resolder these resistors when my display went dead after 23 years :) Working great again!

i keep my ball hitch in my trunk if i dont need it

I had a machine shop drill a hole in my stainless pin for a padlock but didnt know a tractor supply shop sells them with a padlock sized hole already.🍻👍🤠

If you don’t take your hitch on and off much just put clear silicone on hitch shaft and hitch pin. It’s a pain to get pin out when it’s siliconed in. Stops “hitch rattle” too.

Yeah, a socket wrench makes way more noise than a sawzall.🤔

A lot of good recommendations already posted here but I will add that any gate opener is not worth the investment if you're not willing to earn a masters degree from the school of hard knocks in automatic gate opener diagnostics and repair. I'm going on 5 years on my current MM 371. The two prior to it were 12 and 6 years old, both were struck by lightning. I installed a large 10' commercial ground rod near the gate opener and grounded my field fence and tied to the ground on the control board when I installed the current opener. The last one that was struck by lightning, I also lost a fence charger that was connected to the same fence on the other side of the farm approximately 700 feet away. I went to check the fuses on the fence charger and both fuse holders were blown off the circuit board with black arc markings all over the inside of the charger. The speaker/horn on the gate opener was blown out of the circuit board. When the fence charger got hit thats what gave me the idea to ground the fence with a ground rod. Regarding the solar panel, never buy the one from MM. They're under powered and suck. They're not made of glass so if you live in the south the sun will bake that clear resin looking stuff and turn it milky white. I've been using a 25 watt, glass panel from Harbor Freight for 6 years with no issues. My next door neighbor had his father-in-law install a Ghost automatic gate opener and they have had nothing but problems with it (because they know nothing about gate openers). There is a large pot farm about a mile from me and they have a $10,000.00 gate opener on a rolling gate. That thing fails 3-4 times a year and they have to hire a security guard 24 hours a day to sit at the gate until it is repaired. The point I'm making is there is no magic brand that you can buy that will be trouble free.

I've seen Dually E350 before. They are a thing, but it's EXTREMELY RARE to find one nowadays.

It’s garbage….

You haven’t had one stolen because you never owned a expensive tow hitch. The one in your video or cheaper ones would never be stolen.

You really should have a tie that connects those inner feet down to a piling below for structural supporting.

Wow, those welds look...... interesting. lol

Anchor points need to be relocated to more of a triangle

Good point, with the added lock nut. Only thing I'd tell this guy is. We don't all have the same needs as you: I agree I'm not to worried about my regular 2" ball getting stolen at home. But I have a combo hitch and when I go camping I have a distribution hitch. It's a pain in the ass to put it anywhere at the campground. So I'd like to secure it to my truck. When I'm away from home, I dont necessarily know what kind of local raggies may be hanging around a downtown I've never been to before. Even some kids who'd just think it's funny and chuck it down a hill, then I'm out $200.

"I don't know why people love their locking hitch pins so much or why they are worried about the hitch being stolen off the back of their truck". Well, mabye thats because your truck looks like trash, so people assume you don't have anything worth stealing. Or maybe it's because most people care about safety enough that they don't buy junk like your hitch. My 20,000# hitch cost over $400. If you think someone won't steal that, you aren't very bright. Also, many people need to swap their hitch out occasionally for to use a pintle hitch or WD hitch so a bolt isn't the best option. And, finally, many lock pins are Class V, and you can't cut through that any quicker than your bolt. HTF do you not know this? Guess you aren't as smart as your think, huh? I mean, honestly...do you really think you are the first one to think about using a bolt, lol? I think you can't afford a good hitch, so you are just jealous of those that can. A class V lock pin from Curt rated for over 20000# is about $15, lol. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007LVJ2A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1.

I just cut thru a 3/4 grade 8 bolt with a sawzall. Took roughly 16 seconds.

buy right.. get you a liftmaster 400UL with exit probe, photo eye, keypad, and 2 key phobs. for apx $2600-$3000.. If you even entertain Ghost your making the same mistake twice.

I like the idea, but out here in the country, some farmers kid is gonna have a farm sized ratchet set.

A catagory 1 pin is 3/4 diameter. Most hitches use a 5/8 diameter pin. Get a catagory 0 pin to fit 5/8 holes.

I have a brand new 371, all that effort and energy setting it up, I can open and close gate holding 2 buttons in control box , but CANNOT get the remote that came with it and a second new remote to program!! Iam FURIOUS!!!

I think the concern is more with expensive hitches like a weigh safe or a b+w tow and stow. A $50 curt isn't as big of a loss as a $350+ hitch. I like the top link pin idea, though. Some good recommendations are given here and I'll admit that I hadn't considered the bolt. I just wish I knew the shear-strength of each bolt grade by size. I don't want my bolt shearing off while towing with my 3/4 ton.

If someone wanted your hitch they would just use a wrench and a socket or drill and have it off in 5 seconds.

I have I had 2 stolen

Code fail.. Cant / should not have a hole with wires going through it without a grommet or bushing to protect the wire. .. thats kind of a big problem..

This is my favorite version of the ford econoline van

bro literally went for the same design just using 2 20 foot containers on each end. Noticed you never posted again Would you give us an update on what it looks like please.

tbf you are using a $20 hitch that isn't worth stealing in the first place. but your point still stands

Good vid, but you should use rubber grommets at the metal holes. Time and movement will cause a short and a good kick in the pants. :) Cheers.
