I get tired of turning the hand grinder, but it doesn't really take that much time or effort. Further, when stuffing sausage, the ability to control the speed of output with the hand grinder is very nice. mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-14364364912512898272013-11-08T15:32:02.810-06:002013-11-08T15:32:02.810-06:00I really hate it when people give me good advice.....I really hate it when people give me good advice...Chad Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219295562957353591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-22006261595761762262013-11-08T10:29:49.074-06:002013-11-08T10:29:49.074-06:00"Personally, I am way too poor to be able to ..."Personally, I am way too poor to be able to afford cheap gear."<br /><br />Spot on.

Several years ago my dad bought me the Cabelas 1hp grinder and I was mortified by the price, the size, the shipping costs he must have incurred...and then I used it. And a buddy used it. And another and another and another...five or more years down the road (and probably ten elk and as many antelope) and the thing is still going strong. And I grind my meat nearly frozen. You're paying for the motor, I think and they seem to use good ones! The only way you'd regret it is if you threw your back out trying to lift the dang thing.<br /><br />Happy Grinding! <br /><br />KirkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-50347284967970990402013-11-07T15:55:28.740-06:002013-11-07T15:55:28.740-06:00After burning out two cheaper grinders, I went for...After burning out two cheaper grinders, I went for the Cabela's and haven't looked back. At some point, I was averaging something like a hog a month, which led to a lot of grinding, and this thing never slowed down. <br /><br />Of course, if you won that grinder Hank's giving away, you'd probably be pretty satisfied too...<br /><br />And how could you not have his book yet?Philliphttp://www.hog-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-59068939757807352112013-11-07T15:17:45.453-06:002013-11-07T15:17:45.453-06:00Dude.

You will spend most of your time either cleaning sinew off the cheap-ass, dull blade or trimming your meat so obsessively you'll whittle it down to nothing. A good grinder will change your life.<br /><br />Also, get Hank's book you cheap bastard. It will also change your life.Double Dnoreply@blogger.com
