I helped my dad fab a gate made out of trees that probably weighed in the neighborhood of 1000-1200 lbs when it was hung. Big T gate like you find out in the country. He had some brackets fabbed and mounted some wheel bearings we picked up at the junkyard. That gate swung so easily it was incredible. Only problem was you tended to forget how much momentum it had. If you weren't careful it'd knock you over.
The bearings sat at the bottom and top of the T on the brackets that were attached to the post. Very simple design that worked great in IMHO.
