All hooked up now... need to get yourself a remote soon😁 I'm sure Rachel wont wanna be sharing that remote for to long 😆
Have a great evening ⛄⛄⛄
Hi :)
@@geoffreyjones2000 Hi 😁
You make it look easy, Kevin! I'm sure I'd have myself tangled up in it somehow!
me too lol
Some vehicles have garage door openers built into the sun visor or rear-view mirror. These can usually be programmed to work with openers like the one on this gate. It would be worth checking.
Beautiful gate, well done Kevin
Very nice Kevin system Kevin. That will give you peace of mind as well keep the dogs in.Great video and very informative. 👍👍
Gate turned out nice
Good job filming & installing!!
You made it look easy
Lots of editing lol
You got the join button! BOOM Happy New Year! You get many trespassers there?
Not really, not locals anyway. But once in awhile is enough to take action and put up gates and cameras. You know how it is when you have trailers, equipment and such.
Good job, Kevin. I am happy you took extra precautions to protect your precious family, home and animals that are loved by one and all.
Happy New Year to all of you and much success in 2020, especially with this channel. Just think that this past June we celebrated your 5K mark and look now, 6 months later!!!
Nice set up Kevin! I love that gate. Looked fairly easy to to install. Yall getting some nice weather up there.
awesome I am glad your able to get a automatic gate to keep trespassers out you definitely don't need strangers entering your property
For sure
Great work Kevin. Definitely need a second remote and maybe a spare in case of loss or accident. Have a good evening. God bless you and your family.
You made that look easy 👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You make it look easy... God bless.
Nice install. An elderly friend of mine might need to look into one of those openers. I'm not sure what brand she has, but she has had trouble with it, so, if your follow-up is positive, I will tell her about it.
It sure makes things easier and gives a piece of mind.
Great video! Glad to see that subscribers number climb! Keep up the great work!👍😉
Awesome setup. Jason great instruction on setup.
I really hope that works the way you want it to. I wish I was that handy with tools. I have a barn full of tools and no clue how to use them all.
I am glad you finally got a chance to get that completed. I really hope it helps with the dogs. As for trespassers, it'll keep the honest out. The ones who very accidentally went the wrong direction and even the looky loos that are honest. Anyone else with bad intentions, nope. But, that is with any system.
Very true, at least it will slow the bad people down.
@@HiddenHeightsFarm - Yes it will. The amateur bad will just reject the amount of work it would require and hopefully none of the truly demented ever find y'all.
Great job Kevin,,that gate is real nice😀👍
Thank you
The goats are letting you know they are watching....love hearing them in the background
I bet they see Daddy and want him to feed them treats.
You might want to consider putting your solar panel and electrical boxes on a wood 4x4 post several feet from the steel hinge post to keep it from getting fried by lightning hitting the fence.You would still need to disconnect the control box power cord to the gate motor if bad storms were heading your way.I've got a few scorched places on my gates and sheds from lightning hitting my fence and traveling around all the metal fence connections. Good Luck!
Hope that takes care of the trespassers and keep the dogs from running off. That looked like it is a super nice system. Thanks for sharing, you guys take care and Happy New Year
Good video. Thanks
You should add a metal clip to the far side when the gate closes you can hear it clank sound.
Happy New Decade Hidden Heights! New Subscriber! The Crockers give out names of a lot of homesteaders and farms which I haven't been able to find!! Jared is on the way to help out Jason, and Thank you so much for what you and Dutch did to Help Jason! It brought me happy tears!.. I am beginning to watch your videos and maybe learn a thing or two! Thank you once again for sharing!
Thank you for watching
I’m so happy to see the gate and fencing, I was worried about the dogs getting out!
That looks like an awesome set up Great job putting everything together 👍👏👏👏👏👏
It's working great so far, thank you!
Yea, nice job on all of it. It really looks great and a lot of care and attention went into the fence and everything. Definitely got skills 👍
The solar panel you should put a piece of wood over the top to stop snow from covering it I seen it in Canada were I live the snow covers the solar panel and it won't work. Happy new year's
KEVIN THE PIN IS IT'S CALLED A COTTER PIN OR SPLIT PIN. YOU DID GREAT PUTTING IT TOGETHER. YOU ALSO MIGHT WANT TO PUT AND WHEEL AT THE BASE OF THE END OF THE GATE OTHERWISE IT WILL EVENTUALLY DRAG.
He's need to level out the driveway at that spot if he was going to add a wheel.
Looks like it will work great for a long time thank you for sharing
Check this out: I've had a ghost control for about two years. It started squeaking and lurching. I'd clean the arm with WD 40, then lubed it with white lithium grease as suggested. My gate is on a dirt driveway in a desert. The squeaking got worse I couldn't find any usable solutions so, I decided to take a look inside the plastic cover of the mover arm. First I pulled the pins, then i rotated the plastic cover so I could see the Allen screws, it looks odd in there but it takes a normal Allen wrench, loosened all the screws, they wouldn't fall out, springs hold them but you can safely separate the two halves of the plastic cover a little over an inch. It's enough so when turned sideways you can see the threaded gear. (Sidenote before you take it apart make sure it's fully extended so you can spray down the threaded gear). As I looked at the threaded arm I noticed dirt piled up where the lithium grease had allowed it to stick to the threads. I sprayed the area with knocker loose thread cleaner through the plastic gap then let it drip straight down, then I sprayed down the threads with WD-40 to wash off the knocker loose and let it all dry for about 30min. It worked, no more problems.
That is really nice and more safe.
Hello Gd evening to you there myself id put my battery up on a two by six or a four by four or four by six to keep it off the direct ground too there have a great day now and that would make coming and going alot easer than having to get in and out of the vehicle to do it manually for sure and as far as the bolts id spot weld them to keep them from being removed by a theft too good vedio there and I'll be waiting on the next one here too
Great job! You made it look easy. Me, I’d have everything all messed up. 😂
Thank you
Can you add a keypad to allow access (such as Dutch needing to borrow something) if you are away. On second thought that might not be a good idea.
Nice! 👍🏻
Great work Kevin. Who taught you all these skills?
Nice Video!👍👍👍🙏.
That's awesome . Always wanted something like that but still trying to figure out how the garbage truck will get in to dump our dumpster. That's the only issue I haven't figured out yet
Call your garbage company & ask them if they’ve dealt with the issue before.
Nice little setup there. That's cool. I'll have to remember the name.
God bless
It's the best quality and easiest one I have ever installed or even came across.
Now Dutch can't just pop in lol. I hope Skeeter don't go under the gate before you get the gravel down. Have a great evening.
Good job on the install, but what is the plan on deliveries like UPS
Easy fix. You can get good size metal boxes really cheap and add a combo lock. With the delivery companies now, you can provide the code in the orders in "special instructions", etc.
We have a gate for our driveway. We need to look into this.
gate looks great!
Great video Kevin. Thank you for sharing. Good job on the gate. Have a Blessed New Year **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and the critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
Have a great New Year!
FYI Ghost has optional mounts for use on Metal pipe post, so the extra work you did could be made easier? not to detract from your great ingenuity! Nicely done.
That's 4" pipe. Pipe is measured inside dia. Tubing is measured outside diameter.Very neat looking job.
A new friend here! Happy New Year! Wendy @Hardnack Farms in Historic Guthrie, Oklahoma! We have cameras up all over our farm that helps as well. But this is neat
Thank you!
Wow I am going to look in to that, I just put up a entrance way and about to put up a gate.
Good luck
This is a really easy one to install. How long will it take for you new remotes to come ?
Good video.... question....Very nice......is there a system that may be similar but less "heavy-duty" and maybe less cost ......for a system that doesn't operate a heavy gate......but only operates a lightweight aluminum channel ( a single bar) that is located maybe 1 ft above ground?...and that goes across a home's driveway? I want the single, low, aluminum tube or bar..... as a visual deterrent for folks using my empty ( but "convenient") driveway as a public turn -around.
Great video. Questions I didn't see addressed in the comments. Since you've had both the Mighty Mule and now the Ghost, 1) What is the cost difference, apples to apples? Some have said that MM dings you for small stuff, hardware, locks, etc. 2) Is there an ability to interface a keypad, like fro UPS, etc? 3) Can you lock the gate in an open mode, like if you were expecting several guests? 4) Is there a way for the fire department to have access, such as a key, code, etc? Thanks!
The ghost is superior hands down. Much quieter and faster. So far so good
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned but a wheel on the nonsupported end of the gate might be helpful.
Thanks sir, very helpful. Installing one this weekend. How has the Ghost held up for you if you don't mind my asking?
Great video thanks. Looks like you have a 16’ gate with no wheel on bottom… any issues with it sagging so far? I’m looking at putting a 16’ gate on 6” wooden post with the ghost opener.
That is gr8t, now see if ppl. have any class to understand who land it is. When ppl. come around sometimes their scoping out to see what can be stolen. Maybe get some out side security cameras pointed at gate an few other places. Take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh:))
LITTLE BROTHER &FAMILY! Little Brother . Nice Gate Job ! weld plate on Closed. Put locks so slow them down . Put Key Bored on out side . Accessories, Right. I ,like the you show us. 1 Okie ! 1 ,Day May show up ! 4 Some That Blue Berry pie & Whip cream . U, Rachel & Family & Grandpa Have Happy new year! Kevin little Brother ?🙏❤ The 🐲
Question, what kind of bolts or fasteners did you use to secure the strut to the pipe?
Glad you got the gate set up, but I came hoping for animals (and kids) updates.
So the gates to keep the dogs in and Dutch out jk Happy new year sir
Hi, I'm installing a ghost operator system like the one you have. Can you please tell me where you bought that bracket to the round fence post another to attach the arm operator? I have a round metal post I looking to get the metal bracket you install first before you install the arm operator.
Idea for receiving deliveries: Buy one of those lock boxes like realtors use that has a combination code, fasten it to one of the posts & fasten a remote opener inside it. Then when you place an order online just include the lock box combo code in the delivery instructions.
Yes we ALL hate that store you mentioned. lol. I did my first ever grocery curbside pickup this morning. It has of pros but also lots of cons.
Good idea!!
I THINK that should work. But you can always check with some of your main delivery drivers to double check.
I'm new to your channel, I'm from the crockers, happy new year
Thank you for watching!
👍🏼thank you
Which I hear the goat's saying time to feed them. Plus the Turkey's too. The gate looks great. What about if someone is coming to see u what is there a code box to use for the buttons to put in the code for it to open.
Good Job !
I think the goats are telling you it’s dinner time
does that 10watt solar panel work ok with that marine battery? Can it keep up?
Hey folks imma show yall a step by step install. Oops forgot that step, ehhh I did that step but did not tape, eah I skipped over that step but you can read it taaadaaaa I'm done!
I love your video...! I need to know where you bought your gate? I'm looking and havent seen one like that and it's exactly what I'm looking for. Also how long is your gate? Thanks so much!
What kind of fencing (posts and wire) did you use and where can I find it? Your fence and gate looks amazing. I need to replace mine and the metal looks so much better than wood posts.
SWEET
you need to put a roller wheel on bottom of gate will relieve pressure on gate hinge Kevin
I was just wondering if the corner of the gate is going to drag. You might want to consider a small wheel to keep it from digging a rut in the drive.👍🤟😎
First, I want to say that you were so great given a hand along with Dutch helping Jason get things going on his first full day on building his place! Thanks for showing us this gate. I have a couple of questions that I hope you see & can answer for me. I live out in the countryside and have two metal gates that I close in the center with a chain & lock! I live in a bad area for wildlife and have had illegals. My question is can it be hooked up fairly easy & will I have to build an enclosure for the battery? I saw you used a tote type box. Did you put the lid on basically making it weatherproof ! Where can I find one & how expensive if I am not being too nosey? Being able as a older woman & that's disabled I appreciate all the info you can give me or direct me to. Thanks!
Yes it is easy to hook up. The battery box I used was purchased at Wal Mart for like $9. If you have two gates you would need one on each hate if you want them both to open and close. You can email me at hiddenheightsfarm@gmail.com of you have more questions.
What is the contraption you use on the post so that you don't have to weld?
Are your dogs on everybody’s porch that’s how my Great Pyrenees was then she taught my Anatolian to do the same had to get that under ground containment system . No problems sense .
Looks like it will work great! How do you keep Skeeter from running out?💕
Did the gate come with the wire on it or did you add it on yourself if so how did you fix it
Good install on the gate opener. Do you have to lock the gate or does the arm prevent movement.
How much flex does that door have can a person fit if it does
Another project completed. On to the next! I'm waiting for your goats to start kidding. 🐐
Won't be long!
How big is your gate ..did it move in wind or is it solid
I do think I would have put the control boxes inside the fence and not accessible from out side the fence...
GOOD VIDEO
Thank you
you need to show dutch that gate setup he was talking about getting one awhile ago
How secure are they when closed? Can someone push right open?
Personally, I would have made it pull to close.
Reason, closed is the predominate position. (It remains closed more often than open)
The way you installed it means the shaft is exposed to the elements longer. Everytime you open it the shaft and moisture, ice, dirt, etc, will be drawn into the cylinder.
This will cause more wear and tear on the seals, wiper, and life of the opener. (Even if it operates by a screw mechanism. )
Or, as I've had happen, ice forming on the shaft will bind the opener and prevent its operation.
You will find yourself getting out of your vehicle to remove the ice and reset the opener after it trips out.
PS, pour a concrete apron under the gate. (Animals cant dig n concrete)
Yes you are correct. I believe that would've been a better way to install.
I agree not wanting to go to Wal-Mart !!.
If you don't want trespassers, I would put the solar panel away from the gate or they might be inclined to cut your wires.
If they want in they can come in and face other things lol
Can you make it to where it doesn’t beep on open or close?
How do I get a hat or shirt with the logo you are wearing.

It may be easy for you, but, I’d have a mess! I’m the least tech savvy you can find!
kool
ai hate ta say it thet fences are only good fer keeping animals in/out an honest people honest sorry,,, thank ya fer the video
I can see the bolt in the pipe breaking over time. As you gate gets older and stiff there is going to be a lot of torque on the single bolt.
I added a u bolt that goes around the whole pipe and holds the mount in place. I didn't trust the bolt either.
@@HiddenHeightsFarm Nice
Looks great !
I hope they don't get thru that!
JO JO IN VT 💕🎄 ☃😊
Still are good today?
Nice job. What do you think about this opener after having it for some time now?
It's great! Still no issues
The plastic the battery is make out of looks the same as the battery box why would it keep if form draining the battery? Other than keeping dirt off the top and getting a short on the top post to post.
I've had the similar box on other batteries and it works.
Good job 👍, can you tell us the price of the closer. And the Model number and size. Thanks Kevin, as always REMEMBER JESUS LOVE'S YOU 🙏 🙏🙏 .
