But imo not worth the hassle if your doing a couple deer/ elk a year. :twocents:

Post by: BULLBLASTER on May 24, 2021, 08:04:58 AM: I think something is screwed up between the ad and picture and description. The picture certainly isnt a 1 horse unit, a 1 hp should grind much more than 5 lb per minute and doubtful you are getting any actual 1 hp grinder for $140.

It's got the small #12 neck size so you would only be able to fit like 1-2" junks in it. Thus limiting the amount to you grind .
I think the bigger units have a #22 neck . I know I can drop a 5lb junk of meat in my big Cabela's grinder and it spits it out in about 5 seconds.

Looks like this until weighs 13lbs....so half to a third of the weight of commercial style grinders...for what's it's worth. :twocents:
