[QUOTE="dukgnfsn, post: 197048, member: 596"] For many years it was hand grind and hand stuff. Then my dad added a motor to hand grinder with a belt. Now he found a motor with a hydraulic reducer, think he paid $12 for motor-reducer on eBay. The thing doesn't grind fast but will grind steady and about anything you want to feed into it. Also at the time he set up this way he put spider gears in and got rid of the belts. Still do the stuffing with the hand stuffer my grandpa used on the farm. As stated in another post the only thing of any kind of tradition I do with my dad is make sausage each year, been doing it about 30++ years now and only missed the year I was deployed for military duty. It will be done this way until dad cant make it anymore. As the years go on he is getting good at supervising. Over the years we have done anywhere from 75-400 LBS a year. Hard for me to justify new equipment for about 100 lbs average per year now. dukgnfsn [/QUOTE]
