Been using a kitchenaid grinder last couple years, picked this bad boy up last night. Bought it used from a buddy for $200. Came w all accessories and a foot pedal and extra blade. Pretty stoked.
 
Congrats that's a heck of deal. That's a big jump up now your gonna need a whole lot more meat to grind cause that is gonna grind it quick :emoji_sunglasses:
 
So this thing also has a foot pedal. I can’t see the need when grinding, but it makes me think I ought to give the stuffer a try. Anyone have any thoughts? My lem mighty bite does great work but this ought to make quicker time of a 25lb batch of summer sausage no?

I have the same grinder, rips through a deer or a boar in less than 10 minutes!
Yes I've used it to stuff, quite a bit actually. It works, I used it for years until I got a dedicated LEM stuffer. I find that even though my stuffer is only 5 lb, thats what I use, it just seems to be easier & do a better / more consistent job. Also note that the grinder will heat up the meat a little bit, especially when stuffing... another minor reason to use the stuffer since you have one.

I have the same lem 5lb (mighty bite) and have reverted back to it as opposed to the grinder. Nevertheless I’m very pleased with the grinder and since deer season has arrived, it’s gone get a ton of use!
