Hey all,
After 15 years running my #12 grinder, it is finally starting to show its age, getting hot very quickly and we have simply just outgrown it with our new group of friends on sausage day.
Looking to upgrade to something in the 1+hp range with a bigger throat and push my #12 to a backup grinder. I noticed that there have gotten to be so many choices out there now days. Currently I am running a LEM and have all LEM products as far as stuffer etc., but nothing that ties directly to the grinder, so I'm not tied to LEM.
LEM - new stuff still tried and true? No changes in quality or performance in the recent years? I did appreciate their customer service support via phone when I needed some parts.
Meat! seems to be a little more reasonable in price, but at what sacrifice. Anyone know their warranty process, how to even begin?
Cabelas - Are they still as good as they used to be, and is any warranty process still as easy as it was 20 years ago? I havent done shit for business there since they joined w/ Bass Pro. Not to mention it's a drive from Garrison to Grand Forks for any support.
Thanks for any insight.
