It’s like having an automatic garage door opener at each gate entrance!
Based in McCreary, Manitoba, MJ Endeavors manufactures and sells remote-controlled vertical lifting gate systems. This system will save you time and money and add an extra degree of safety to your operation.
With our “Lift and Go” Gate System
While riding in your comfortable and warm tractor or vehicle, push a button on the remote as you approach the gate, and the gate will have pivoted fully upwards by the time you get to it. As you go through the opening, push the button on the remote again and continue driving while the gate closes behind you. What could be easier?
Benefits
Saves Time
Example: Feeding four bales, once a day going through one gate, for 180 days, the operator will:
- Enter or exit the feeding pen 1440 times.
- Spend a total of 60 hours or six ten-hour days simply opening and closing one gate! This is based on a conservative estimate of 2.5 minutes each time the operator has to open and close one gate. This involves: Get off the tractor, open the gate, get on the tractor, drive through the opening, get off the tractor, close the gate, get on the tractor. Then drop off the bale and repeat the process to exit the feeding pen. Twenty minutes per day times 180 days =3600 minutes or 60 hours. Time wasted which can be used more productively than opening gates.

Saves money
- Save $4320.00 per feeding season. Between wages (hired hand or owner, an estimate of $22.00 per hour), fuel consumption, engine wear, maintenance, depreciation, etc (estimate of $50.00 per hour), a conservative estimate would be $72.00 per hour.
Add a degree of safety!
- The operator will use the steps of the tractor to mount or dismount the tractor 5760 times. The most common tractor injuries happen when people get on or off the tractor. These happen when people slip and fall to the ground or jump down and land heavily on uneven ground. If the driver gets off facing away from the tractor, their pant cuffs or boot loops can snag, tripping them forward off the tractor. Sprains or damage to the knees are common. Our remote-controlled gate system helps prevent these accidents and long-term injuries.
Using our four bales, one gate scenario, this cost equals $4320.00 per year (72.00 x 36 hours opening gates). At the present retail price of approximately $3950.00 (Cdn), The gate would quickly pay for itself in less than one feeding season! Expand this to more bales and/or multiple gates, and you can easily see how much faster it pays for itself.
