Look no further than the 1hp model cabelas sells. I just ground 120# of burger last night. It took about 15 minutes. It could be faster if I could feed it faster. It will take the shank meat from an elk or bear and not even slow down. Having burned up half a dozen import and attachment grinders it was tough to spend the cash....glad I did, its the real deal.

That's what I'm after the real deal. I think it would almost pay for itself in a years time. I on average take about 3 animals a year in to get cut and wrapped so if I can start doing it myself I could save some cash.

Just look at the grinder and make sure it does not have plactic gears. If it has plastic gears you need to be a bit careful in your feeding the machine.

I have the Cabelas Commercial Grade 1 3/4 hp. It's awesome but expensive. Just a few weeks ago we did a bear, deer, duck, and pheasant on a Cabelas Commercial Grade 1 hp and it performed flawlessly, just a little slower than the bigger model. I'd recommend either one of them but I wouldn't recommend going under 1 hp if you plan on using it a lot

I can't say enough good things about this grinder, and the company who makes them (American). STX TURBOFORCE 3000 SERIES
This is a heavy duty grinder, only sold through Amazon (out of stock until 1/16/12) and a couple other retailers. You wont find a better grinder for the price.
Check out the product reviews on Amazon.com...

I have the LEM one. I went with it because when I researched ( a couple years ago) it did not have plastic gears, metal only. Get as big as you can afford. If you want to do sausage, the pedal is the way to go. Only time I have had trouble with mine is if I try to grind frozen meat (I think I have the .25 HP, I was broke when I bought it).

I would suggest a #22 as a minimum and if it weighs under #25 expect it to burn down the first time you toss a bear shank in it.

Minimum .75hp. I have that one and it is AWESOME.(Cabelas) As fast as you can feed it will take. litterally if you stuck a 1x2 in it it would devour it. AWESOME

I got the Cabelas 1HP grinder a month ago and it was on sale for $399. Really happy with it. I did a half an elk and a deer in less than 30 minutes. I couldn't feed it fast enough. It was probably only about 15 minutes of actual grinding time.
I see they still have it on sale but it's $479. Still a good price since regular it is $519. And you can get $20 off if you order before January 5th.

+1 on the cabelas 1 hp. It is the smoothest grinder i have. I did 6 lopes this year and and have done a few deer, an elk and a bear and I never had a problem. It will pay for itself in no time.
