Medium Duty - Single Gate

I own two of these mighty mule gate systems, one medium and one heavy duty. I have had zero issues with them, other than battery being dead and physical problems with one of my gates. I would purchase another one without hesitation.

Works great. Just be sure you BUY A NEW BATTERY, whether you think it is good or not. Ours was pretty new and we checked the cells, gate opener would not work,changed the battery and worked like a champ. It actually said in the instructions, to purchase a new battery.

Over the past 17 year, I have purchased multiple Mighty Mule gate openers (the MM350 and later the MM360), as they only last about three years at most, due to a design flaw in the arm allowing moisture to accumulate and corrode the board within. After about two years, the latest arm died in September 2022 and I was dismayed to find that the MM360 model had been discontinued and the only similar replacement was this much more expensive MM371W. However, I was hopeful that the new design of having the control board in a separate weatherproof box might justify the additional expense and thereby give the arm a longer lifespan. This opener began giving off an error code beep indicating that the battery was low, after only a month of use. After verifying that the wiring was properly connected, I assumed the battery to be the problem and took it to the auto parts store where I had purchased it and their testing revealed it to be fine. I returned home and confirmed the solar charger was working fine, but the design of the MM371W requires the charger to be fed into the board, rather than connected directly to the battery, and when I tested it, I found no charge coming from the board. In the midst of my second Mighty Mule gate opener failure within a month and a half, I called the toll-free number provided in the installation manual and was on hold for over 20 minutes when a representative finally connected, then was promptly hung up on. I immediately called back and was thankfully on hold for less time, and after explaining to the service representative the results of my testing, I was asked when and where I had purchased the opener, to which I told them from Amazon about a month prior. The representative advised rather than sending the opener to Mighty Mule to be repaired, I return it to Amazon, which they graciously approved, even though it had been just outside of the 30-day return period. Upon initiating the return, I immediately purchased another MM371W from Amazon, installed it and it has been working fine up until just last week when it has begun emitting an error code beep for a low battery after use. Naturally, I tested all of the connections and found everything to be as it should, and noted that the beeping is not consistent in frequency or duration. However, I has begun to occur more and more the past several days and I am now to the point to where I have to deal with YET ANOTHER defective Mighty Mule gate opener. And I just now clicked on the link for product support on this item's page and the link to "visit support website" takes you to an entirely different manufacturer! SOMETHING THAT COSTS THIS MUCH SHOULD OPERATE PROPERLY AND NOT INCONVENIENCE ME SO MUCH IN TIME AND FRUSTRATION IN TRYING TO REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE IT!!!!!!

I had to replace my gate opener when the Amazon driver crashed the gate with his van. THe MM350 is no longer made, so I got the MM371W Opener. First, the mounting hardware was all different than the MM350. However, that is a good thing as this one mounts much sturdier than the previous one. Second, the Control Board is in a remotely mounted box, NOT inside the opener. That makes programming MUCH easier. Additionally, the ON/OFF switch is on the Control Box, NOT the bottom of the operator. Third, the antenna now comes out of the Control Box as well. The unit came with a small antenna that mounts to the side of the Control Box, but after reading reviews, I bought an external antenna kit and mounted mine high atop the pole rather than on the box. The OLD remotes can easily be programmed to the new unit so it's seamless to the users. The new Gate open FASTER than the old one which is a blessing. The closing time can be adjusted like the old unit using a resistance pot on the Control Board. Instructions are easy to follow, but if your replacing the old unit this installation is even simpler. While it was a pain to have to replace my gate and opener, I'm actually glad that the Amazon guy made it necessary because this unit is an improvement - only because they don't still sell the old one. Highly Recommend the MM371W.

Had a 350 that worked well for a number of years but started becoming unreliable and I wasn't able to successfully troubleshoot it. The 371 was a drop in fit but needed to mount the separate control box. It's working well and I really like the increased speed of opening and closing.

Started working periodically after having installed and used less than a year. Arm itself is fine but control board isn't and there is no options to replace just the control board.

Needed to replace a gate part and this replaced the whole part cheaper than just getting the part

This gate opener has worked flawlessly for the last 4 months it has been cold here for the last little while and with a small car battery and the mule sloar panel no issuses at all! Reccomend

This was easy to install and has worked without a problem for about 1 month. Shipped on time and worked as expected.
