11 lb sausage stuffer differences ???
-
PapaSop just setting here admiring my 11 lb and wandering if I should keep the 7 lb as a backup, sell, or gift it. I don’t see it getting as much action after this.

GWG8541 I’m a sucker for keeping backups. If you blew a gasket on your 11 lb and didn’t have a spare at least you could use the 5 lb.

Does anyone have experience with the different brands? I think an 11lb stuffer would be a good size to upgrade to from my 5lb stuffer. I got a pk100 now and can do bigger batches.
So does anyone know differences between the Waltons, Cabelas, The Sausage Maker, Hakka, LEM, Weston. Might eventually want to add electric motor but right now not necessary because of price. Are they all pretty much similar? Or little differences like some plastic gears instead of metal, or better cranking ergonomics.
I was happy with my Cabelas 5lb stuffer it was a great upgrade from using the grinder to stuff and it leaves very little meat in the bottomRandie N So much depends on batch size and frequency. I got a used F Dick 30 pound well before I knew about Walton’s. It is built like a tank. Making snack stick or breakfast sausage links is no problem.
Now, I do 60 and 90 pound batches about 3 times per month minimum. It is still easy to use at my age, the only difficulty is picking up the thing. And I typically stuff by myself. No cheater bar necessary to push out the meat.
Walton’s products are great for for most users and should last a life time. I haven’t used one, so I can’t speak for the gearing and how difficult it would be to make small diameter product.
Maybe someone who has used Walton’s and a F Dick could describe if there are any differences in gearing.

On the thanksblackmonday video, it says the 11 pound stuffers will be $70 off Friday through Monday? If that is correct, I will be grabbing one. I will keep my 5 pound for 16mm snack sticks.

Don’t really like it we have used the 15lb to make sticks it was a PITA practically lifted the table off the ground but didn’t break anything….probably took a few years off the stuffers life

blackbetty61 yeah we did same thing and gave up on it with sticks. That is why I bought the Waltons 11 lb.

Grimpuppy seen that sale mentioned… that’s why i was asking some questions. I watched some old videos on the stuffer and it said they had aluminum gears. Not sure why you would want aluminum gears. The videos were a couple years old I think so notnsure what has changed if anything on new models

blackbetty61 I know. The LEM stuff is expensive
Randie N if I would’ve found Walton’s before buying lem would’ve went with Walton’s…not sure what Walton’s warranty is but lem is 5 years on the stuffers I believe……had a issue last year with my 10 lb stuffer called them sent a pic of the problem sent me a new part no questions asked
