What sucks is that the cost of these has kept going up over the past few years and idk whether I would pony up the big bucks for one if I had to buy one at retail today. I would probably hound Craigslist in search of a used one at a good discount. It takes me two days to do an elk by myself and even though I already own my own grinder and vacuum sealer, I'm still tempted to pay a butcher as I make more money than using two days vacation costs me if I paid the butcher to do it. Think about that before shelling out $400 for a high end grinder.

This thing grinds as fast as I can feed it. A little spendy, but you get what you pay for.

It looks like it should be cheap, but I've used it for probably 10 deer so far without a hiccup. Grinds fast and takes whatever you can get in it. The only downside is that it is loud as h*ll. I bought the cabelas burger patty attachment and pre-patty all of my burgers. I grind all of my burgers twice.
For the money, I doubt you'll find anything more powerful.

Well, Hobart...but hard to find and a little pricy. I have a Hobart table top #32 for my business. Biro and Butcher Boy also make commercial grinders. Shop Craigslist and Ebay (although freight).
As for Cabella, I looked hard at the #32 and the #44. I know a guy who grinds his own burger for his burger restaurant. He moves quite a bit and has no complaints about his #44. Youtube has lots of Cabella grinder stuff.
However, I would recommend a Hobart #22 over any Cabella (IMHO), if money's an issue.
Hobart's made in Germany....Cabella in China....just sayin'
Don't worry about 3 phase because you can run it on a converter. I do.
Why would you even want one. I take my meat to my local meat market buddy and for a six pack I use his and don't have to spend the rest of the day cleaning it. But I only do several animals a year.

It's gotten to the point where there's hardly anywhere to take wild game for processing anymore. And besides that, I like knowing the meat I put in my freezer is from my deer and not somebody else's gut shot deer.
The only thing I regret is not buying it sooner.

I have the Waring pro mg100 it's only $80 these day's on amazon a lot less than i paid about 9 years ago it has done several thousand pounds of meat. I broke two kitchenaid meat grinder attachments before i got this one.I would buy a bigger one if were in the market for one today but i can't say i am dissatisfied or that it's not a good product it is still going strong.:yeah: mine seems bullet proof.

I just recently wore out the Waring Pro model after only a year and a half. Probably only ground 150 lbs or less. It could maybe grind a pound per minute. That thing did NOT like to grind pork. My wife and I decided to go big with a replacement:

I think it did a decent job but rather than going out and buying him a stuffer, I think the foot pedal would be really handy as it would be nice to control it on and off as you feed, twist, etc. Its a two person job using hte on off switch but could possibly be done solo with that pedal. Not sure how much it costs.

The foot pedal made everything better, and I think they are on sale right now for about 35 bucks...I cannot imagine using my grinder without the pedal now. Sausage stuffing is still easier with a stuffer. Its not impossible with the grinder, but its faster and easier with the stuffer. I did all my sausage with the grinder for a couple years, then finally pulled the trigger on the stuffer and wondered why I waited so long.

That is a great price. I got the same one a few years ago on sale for $399 and I haven't seen them down anywhere near that price since then. I think the lowest I've seen the 1 hp is $479.
Awesome grinder, you'll love it.

Mine has eaily ground 1, 000 pounds and shows nonsigns ofnslowing. It probably does 7 pounds a minute. :dunno:
Shy pound every 7.5 seconds I am impressed Bean Counter...How much meat does that hopper hold? And you have to use a plunger to shove the meat down it's throat. :tup:
Post by: superdown on December 12, 2014, 06:36:20 AM
you might want to reread my post I said several as in like 3k not seven and that works out to less than 1 pound of meat a day.that machine has done easily that if not more and there is certainly something to be said about not rushing or abusing your equipment.I have the Waring pro mg100 it's only $80 these day's on amazon a lot less than i paid about 9 years ago it has done several thousand pounds of meat.
