pros/cons of LEM grinders

[mhbaseball]

I am pretty set on getting an LEM grinder in the $250-$400 dollar range from Academy or Bass pro depending on best sales/coupons/gift cards after xmas. From people who have one lets hear the PROS/CONS.

Thanks guys for all the help.

Ordered one last year and have processed 6 deer with it now and have no complaints.

Did it run you around $700? That would be the 1.5 HP I believe.

Check the bargain cave at Cabelas, I got a 3/4hp for under $300

I have used one a couple of time dont knoe the horsepower but works great.

That would be a hell of a steal if it was new

Me too! January is a great time for meat processing stuff in the cave.

I will for sure be looking daily.

Don't know about their grinders, but the LEM vertical stuffers will crank out sausage

X2 and it was new!

Yep it was new and my brother bought a 1hp before I got mine for about the same price. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time

I have a Cebala's 1hp that I sweart could double as a wood chipper! It has processed a few deer, pigs and elk over the past 4 years. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Recomendation: Find the biggest one you can afford and buy the next bigger size! You won't regret it, I promise.

Good idea!!! I will prolly do that. I want BassPro because close to house and can always return if gives me problems but Cabelas have bigger ones. Cabelas is just so far away.
