Cabela's had their grinders on sale recently and I plunged on a 1HP. Good deal i thought as I have been looking pretty seriously, and had the points to do it without cash.
WELL unbeknownst to me my lovely Bride was going to surprise me with the same. Hmmmmmm wouldn't have crossed my mind in a million years she would have even thought of it. Anyhow the UPS guy had quite a load yesterday ( he thought there was a mix-up. I said yes mine)
She's not real happy with me right now :chuckle:
Note to self: Don't order gifts for yourself around Christmastime. ;)

I bought the 3/4HP last week. My wife found a couple $20 Cabelas cards, and said I should order something. I told her I wanted a new meat grinder, and she said "Whatever makes you happy". She should know better. That gigantic box showed up and she said "This is a meat grinder?!"

I'd personally take them both back and exchange them for their biggest commercial grinder. I use the 1HP, but have used the 1 3/4HP and will say it is twice the grinder as my 1HP. Both great grinders regardless.Hmmmm.......That's a thought. I was impressed by a friends 1hp, really more than I need now?

Just need to get you out a little more and maybe release some arrows or maybe pull the trigger more often..... :chuckle:

It will probably rust out before I ever really NEED it.

I was impressed with my 1hp until I used the 1 3/4. Bigger, faster, better :chuckle:I just looked it up. Don't think I want to spend that much more now. Thanks for the info though.
Remember the kids folk song. Mr Mr Johnny Rebeck, how could you be so mean. For grinding up all the neighbor dogs in that machine. Or something along those lines. I used to sing it to my kids when they were little.
That 1 3/4 could be dangerous around my place. LOL

Clearly you need a lesson in personal finance. You have 2 grinders valued at $489.99 each, for a total of $979.99. The 1 3/4hp grinder is $714.99, leaving you with $264.99 to buy something nice for your wife. She'll be proud of you for being frugal, and she'll get a nice gift to boot!

seriously though... I do moose, elk, deer... somewhat on a yearly basis for about 3-4 years now with my 1HP and its fantastic...
SO... take the other back... use 1/2 of the $$ to get wifey something nice and 1/2 to buy a stuffer!
I bought the Dakotah Stuffer, it "looks" slick as (you add analogy) but I haven't used it yet!

Nice guy. but for the life of me I have already forgot his handle. Mountain something I think. Anyway dude.......I think I'll keep this wife and not trade her off........(yet) ;)
So if you are in the market for a grinder, they are still on sale, just not as good of sale as a few weeks ago.
Come on Ernie we need the review of the Dakota stuffer. I'm in the market, but worried about all the other stuff I've read

That 1 hp is really all you need Mike, unless you do start up a side business with the local chinese restaurant...mixed with veterinary...

I have the 1 hp- grinds as fast as I can feed it. I guess if you had a big grinding party with multiple animals bigger/faster might be handy. For 1-2 animals at a time the 1hp will likely be all you'll ever need.

Great meeting ya... keep that grinder busy.

quadrafire... that was me you bumped into at Cabelas. I was going to show this thread to my wife... until you mentioned the offer on my part to trade wives. Just to set the record straight, the trade would have been only for enough time to get one of those high flying grinders! In retrospect... probably better hang with our little ladies. Mine has been with me going on 48 years.Papa thats pretty funny bumping into you at the counter. Nice meeting you too. I got out of there that trip only buying some new vacuum bags.
Great meeting ya... keep that grinder busy.

I've been on a Jerky kick lately. But am about out of breakfast sausage. And i did pick up some casings for snack sticks, maybe this weekend.
