Q: Why can’t this be used with gate wheels

4 months ago

    A: Julie, The Mighty Mule gate openers are intended for “vehicular control” only and not intended for pedestrian. UL 325 states that pedestrian gates must be used no closer than 6’ from the gate opening. Thanks!

Q: Opener says 12’ OR 300lbs. Can i use this opener for 14’ gate under 300lbs?

  • MightyMuleSupport
    A: Tobi - Unfortunately that extra two feet make a difference, it means the shaft will not extend all the way to get to open and close for 14ft, length. 12ft is the max for that unit.

    A: Saddlemaker - correct answer below. We do not currently make a Kit with the MM Lighty Duty Gate Opener, but you can make a MM271(1429759) Solar compatible by purchasing the MM Solar Panel (3609879) separately.

Q: When not in operation, of the motor strong enough to hold the gate closed of cattle push on it?

    A: Clay - It is a safety feature that the Gate Openers can be pushed open by a person or an animal in this case. The Stall Force of Gate Opener can be adjusted (see manual or you can call the Tech Line) to make it harder to push open but in an emergency, it can still be pushed open. There is solution for this situation, if you need to Gate to not push open. We have a Mighty Mule Gate Lock Accessory available at Tractor Supply stores, the MM Part Number is FM143-SL (TSC SKU # 3605053). If you need to call the Tech Line, they can be reached at 1-800-543-1236 M-F 8am-7pm and Sat 10am-6pm EST.

Q: Can the gate be opened with the button provided by vehicle manufacturer located in the vehicle?

  • MightyMuleSupport
    A: Great question, our Mighty Mule gate openers are compatiable with Homelink. Please go on Homelink.com under vehicle and see if your vehicle is listed. If yes, please follow the instructions. If not, you may want to add our MMS100 which is the bridge needed to communicate to our MIghty Mule App. This way you can open and close your gate from your phone. The MMs100 is sold at Tractor Supply stores and on their website. Thank you

Lack of sensitivity in replying to inquiries

5 years ago
I have been trying for two weeks to ask a simple question. I have written emails & I have called & have been put on hold for hours. This is extremely frustrating!!! I like your product. I have been using it for years. Your lack of response is very frustrating & shows to me that you don’t really care about your customers. How would you like it if you called someone repeatedly & was put on hold for hours!!!!

Poor reception, operation

a year ago
This is the worst opener we have ever owned. Hsd Mighty Mule in the past. Went thru two over 10 years at one property. Purchased this opener 3 years ago, nothing but trouble. Now it's dead. Transmitter reception has a always been marginal. Would not program to couple of our vehicles with homelink. Short range with Mighty Mule transmitter.

No, I do not recommend this product.
