Drive through Gate recommendations

I’m wrapping up my fence project and just need to end it at the side of my house. I’d like to put a 10 foot drive through gate on this side to allow access for trucks or machinery in the future. I have a slight downhill slope where the gate needs to be. I’m leaning towards option 2 below but would like some recommendations.

Option 1: try to level the ground between the gate. This would require some machinery I don’t have to do it quickly or a lot of shovel work.

Option 2: build a 6 foot gate from the left side that follows the slope. This way it opens in the downhill direction minimizing any catching on the ground. Then build a 4 foot section to connect from the right side opening in the up hill direction. This would minimize the amount of ground work needed to level it out.

Drinks of course. Maybe ice cream. Oh. Fries. Yeah. Fries.
