I'm lookin to get a good electric meat grinder. One made of all steel that can process quite a bit ( for hog hunts).
What do y'all use?

1 HP Weston #22 for serious use, it grinds hundreds of lbs a year & ain't no slowin' it down. Have a .25 hp LEM for light use but chokes up like Tony Romo if you push it too hard.

I have a .35 HP LEM #8.
I grind about 6 deer a year, no problem, much better than the Tony Romo version.

My brother bought that 1 3/4 HP unit from Cabela's (a #42 neck size). That thing is a beast. We did six deer (one was a 278 pound sika) last weekend and that thing wasn't even warmed up yet. 80 pounds to fight with. Way more than needed for a normal hunter.
But he does about 20 deer a year for himself and customers.
