No, I don't have any affiliation with Lem or Cabela's(obviously). This was just a review I felt was missing. When I started out I did not intend to make a negative video about the Cabela's machine but when I looked back on it, it certainly is negative on the Cabela's stuffer. Regarding the damage caused by the motor to the stuffer, admittedly I talked that up too much and I'm sure you're right that it won't wreck the stuffer because of the clutch. In fact, once I figure out how to do it I will edit the video to say that the clutch should prevent damage to the stuffer.
Also, I think that the earlier versions of the Cabela's stuffers, and I think you own, were better built than the current version. The crank was more substantial, the metal was thicker, etc. At least the one my brother has is built better. I'm not sure if you have checked out the latest versions or not.
I agree with everything else you said about Cabela's, they have been selling this equipment a long time and they do stand behind their products. I have a grinder and mixer from them and they are both awesome. And I have about $20K of various other hunting gear, etc, from them that I have bought over the years that is the best stuff made, IMHO.
Again, in my opinion, I would say that if the Lem stuffer did not exist, the Cabelas would be the best on the market for an affordable motorized stuffer. But the Lem does exist, and I found it superior to Cabela's.
I know you really like your stuffer because it is a great machine. I didn't mean to offend anyone with this video, I just wanted to put together a comparison that did not currently exist. Especially for the Lem because it is all mail order and you can't see them in person.
I do stand behind my statement though that neither of them, without the motor, is worth the $300 price either of them go for (not on sale). You can get a perfectly functioning vertical stuffer for much less. I have one of those and I have pushed thousands of pounds of sausage through it over the years without a hiccup.
