Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I researched automatic gate operators quiet extensively. The only one I knew I did not want for sure was a GTO. (more on that later) I still could not decide. So I called a local dealer who sold and installed gate operators. He recommended USAutomatic . Why, "made in the US, better warranty, excellent support, commercial grade, low power usage, and a satisfied customer list". I trusted his professional opinion and bought the USAutomatic Sentry 300 S. After installing the operator and using it for a couple of weeks I am very satisfied. It works smooth, was easy to install, easy to setup, I get a 30% tax credit on the cost, and a decent warranty. I am very impressed with this Operator.
My first gate operator was a GTO Mighty Mule 500. Mainly because it was the only brand and best model available in retail stores in my area. It was about $450.00 plus another battery $30.00 (because the power drain was so high) and another remote $30.00. Over $500.00. I got it installed and it sounded like it was going to strip a gear ever tine it was opened. To my amazement It lasted about 3yrs on a 200lb 14 foot residential gate that was used an average of 4 times a day. When it did strip a gear (the warranty was expired) I could not buy the gears. I could buy replacement arm for $275.00.
Comparing a GTO Mighty Mule 500 Gate Opener to USAutomatic Sentry 300 S would be like comparing oak to mdf . You get what you pay for. I now have a mighty mule 500 gate operator for sale if anyone needs parts or a trot line weight.
