Meat grinder

I got a hand operated one at tractor supply for 100 bucks. Seems to work very good and company claims it will do 600 pounds an hour.

2 lb per hour is a tad slow .  :  I would be more inclined to think 2 lbs per minute . 

LMAO, I cant believe I did that, thanks for the correction Eddie 

Sorry , but I had to bust you on that one . I thought holy crap , 48# of meat would take 24 hours to grind . I don't think so .  ... ...

LOL, yeah I think I could do it faster than that with my 1920s hand crank grinder.  ;D

Well, to get that much meat through it, youd wear your arm out pretty quick!

Yes it would be, the grinder actually combines a pulley with the optional handle. I have it mounted to a piece of plywood with a 1/2 horse motor running it. I have never stopped it with meat, but the nasty pork fat does wrap the grinding plates and blades pretty good. It loves half frozen meat and will grind it faster than we can feed it. Im going to be purchasing a smaller diameter plate very soon.

i got one o those big old Polish hand crank ones from the Sausage maker company right here in NY. i clamp that sucka to the end of a table whilst the old lady shoves in the 1 inch cubed meat(that is still slightly frozen) and i crank away like a big gorilla making about 4 pounds per minute of sausage meat. i do have the stuffer tubes which go on the end of the grinder and work quite well but was thinking of getting a stuffer thingy...i make about 40 to 60 lbs of sausage at a time....
