I bet he did. That’s robbery.
Did all our main gates about 3 years ago. I bought the Came parts needed directly from Metalines (Polydon Industrues), 2 x Frog heavy duty 24 volt underground motors and, RF remotes, photocells and Came gate controller. Worked out just over a grand for the gear. Got my local gate guys who have the tickets to install it all.
Did three sets of gates like that, two direct off the mains and one on solar.
Did the solar, batteries etc myself and also did the remote comms (ring video doorbell was on special at £100) and GoGate2 (about £120) to open/close/hold/calendar operate the gates (one or both leaves) from phone app from anywhere.

They must be very organsised around your way. They just rammed ours last year, the gates broke, the operators held on though.

umm, just a question - how much scrap do you fellas generate or have lying around the place if you constantly have people asking for it ???
Was starting to wonder the same thing.
Interesting to read about the travelers though. They are very similar to the travelers here. Any travelers in Australia Roy?

err, not really . . .our biggest issues is the barstewards chasing feral pigs, but they mainly cut fences, drive through crops, steal diesel - but it is mainly all in the pursuit of chasing pigs

Must be a reverse cultural thing.
Here the pigs (police) enjoy chasing .....pigs.

not really, no. Just think of the UK farmers attitude to ' travellers ', well, that pretty well sums up what we think of pig chasers

they not all bad, there are actually decent ones ( mainly farmers sons, farm workers etc ) but there are a lot of diesel stealing fence cutting trespassing thieving aggressive pansies who lose their dogs . . .
the main thing is having permission & a good relationship with the landowner.
purely from a feral animal control point of view, its not really that effective, not all pigs are caught & the escapees get very shy & hard to trap or shoot. It is mainly done for sport. There used to be a big market for wild boar in Germany, dunno if it still exists.
It is illegal here to keep or transport live wild pigs
the most effective forms of control are baiting / poison, trapping, or shooting from helicopters

We need scrap to continually replenish what the metal detectorists remove. It's what keeps it exciting for them and keeps them coming back.
Apparently it's a big thing in Texas too. I used to correspond with a Welsh spaniel trainer who'd moved to Texas and was into pig hunting big time. Done on quads with pit bull crosses.
