[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 197037, member: 3373"] I have a 1 1/2hp grinder from Cabelas, pretty sure it's made by LEM. Also use a 25# stuffer. Impossible to push too much meat through the grinder. For that reason it's not very good to stuff as you can't keep it full. Not many need a grinder that large, 1 hp would be plenty big I think as some on here get along just fine with a 3/4 hp. Have thought a motor on the stuffer would be nice but haven't read many good reports about powered stuffers and the durability of the gears. As far as getting everything out of the stuffer, I've never had an issue with that. Other than the tube, there is virtually no meat left on the bottom when the stuffer reaches that point. Stuffer is also from Cabelas but I'm sure they don't make it. Most likely that also comes from LEM like the grinder. Have used both for several years so the initial cost isn't cheap but if you have a few buddies and each can purchase a piece of equipment and make sausage together its becomes a social event that is fun and not so expensive for anyone.
