Great video. I barely remember when my daughter was that tiny. So cute
Great video mate and with Olivia it made it a perfect 10😊
Awwww your lil girl is the cutest!!!
I really like the way you have everything set up. That box made the perfect housing for the controller and solar charger controller and battery. I've watched your video several times, and I'm sold on that same gate opener Model # MM371W. I just placed an order for it, it'll be here tomorrow. I'm going to buy a gate like yours and get rid in the chain link gates that I have now, a single gate is far better. Anyway, thanks for sharing your video. Oh! Can you tell me about the charge controller or link me to it online? Hope to hear back from ya.
Thanks bro! That was very helpful!
good information, beautiful place!
I just love Olivia!!!
She loves helping daddy!
I just installed 371 on property good unit
That control panel has a built-in charge controller.
Great job 👍
Thank you 😀
They’re just disposable…my 4th one justd
I had my old one for 5-6 years before it took a dump.
Install it 90 degress perpendicular to the swing of the gate if your worried about water getting in then purchase a better quality operator such as a liftmast 412 or an USAtutomatic Rancher HD
The new 371 says solar ready, it says just to plug pannel directly to their control board. I assume it has a built in charge controller.... dunno
My only question is why didn't you buy the MM271 and save yourself $100?
I know that your gate doesn't weigh over 300 lbs.
Thanks.
I debated between the MM and Ghost Controls, and ultimately decided on the GC TSS1. Have had it for 4 years, and it's been bullet proof. Takes about 20 seconds to fully open/close, and with a latching zombie lock, it fully secures the door against anyone/anything pushing/forcing it open..
How long after you posted this was it when your opener broke?
@@rlsllc4584 the motor STB about 3 weeks ago and my original comment was a year ago. The motor and gearbox have a lifetime warranty so GC replaced it immediately, covering all shipping costs. They told me to dump the old motor as it has no value for them. I cannot tell you how satisfied I have been with GC.
Good to hear. I’ll look in to them. Thank you.
good damnit Olivia HE HAS IT
did she ever get her friends hair back on his big head?
Did you manually turn off the alarm when gate open/closes? Or, did yours not beep when opening/closing?
I did not manually turn off the alarm. There is an option on the pannel for an alarm wiring.
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?
Have you had any problems with the braket that bolts up to the gate? I'm a lilltle worried the bolts will worn out the holes drilled causing play and then braking the gate. . What do you think?
No issues here, I did use lock nuts so there is no play in the bracket. Also the gate is very well set, with out the opener attached the wind would move it, no resistance.
thanks for the tips the baby girl is so cute bless you guys
How did you get your old single button remotes (with the dip switches) to work? I've heard they do work, just asking to be sure.
I did try to get an old opener with dip switches to work, it didn't work this unit has a program button that pairs the remotes. It may work i didn't look in to it to far.
@@JoeSimple That's it, you have to do that... and if all your remotes have the same dip switch settings, then they will all work with the "one" you tell it to learn. I have 4, they all work when I set up one of them.
“Not sure what it means but it is what it is”😂😂
Did you have to program the open limit before pairing remote? i’ve hooked my up brand new out the box like the instructions says and gate won’t open with remote but will open about 4”-5” via jogging it open by control panel then stops.
Hmm... I don't believe it matters. I believe I set the remote before setting the limits. That's odd it will only open 4-5 inches is it binding? If I remember right there is a resistance sensor that will stop the operation I.E. if the gate was to hit something.
Did you ever figure out?
Does your bolts go all the way through the pole?
Hi Alison, No, the bolts going in to the pole are 3 inch lag bolts. However the bolts attaching to the gate do go through
@@JoeSimple thanks so much!
A gate like that would not keep an active child in or out.
Trouble is you’re buying low grade crap, most people don’t know what good quality equipment is. Look for Viking, lift master, patriot, u.s. automatic. Max controls. Been in the business for many decades, avoid buying this cheap stuff, it ain’t worth it.
but Daddy, all I want to do help u.
