The Farmer seems to spend more time fiddling with than using it. I always liked the bizarre mechanical gate opener featured in the orginal “Babe” movie, and similar ones I’ve seen in the wild.

Some similar to this type also have conventional swing or slide rail operating sequentially from the weight of a truck. Sounding the horn drives cattle from where you enter and exit.

You hit a concrete planter with your minivan now and the whole fender needs to be replaced.
