I have lost two motors in the past 10 years. I have 2000' of driveway that they have to drive down kind of suprising they had the sack to do it. I finally built an automatic gate this past winter. Not a normal gate but a piece of art reflective of my interest in hunting and fishing in the NW , It weighs over 10k lbs and would take a bull dozer to drive through. The local kids where out whaking mail boxes as they do every spring so I am working on a one ton mail box that looks like a normal mail box until they hit it with a bat. I let them have the first 9 or 10 mail boxes as a sacrifice for all the mail boxes I whacked in college.
