Parksider those Hobarts are beasts!

mrobisr Let us know what you think.

I absolutely will.

Grimpuppy Thanks for that comparison. I didn’t realize there was that much difference. The 50# could be a storage issue for me.

The canister comes off really easy apparently, so that might help with the storage since it would be 2 smaller and shorter pieces, just a thought.

Does the time/effort you save mixing get negated by extra time cleaning? I guess I have not had a huge issue hand mixing my 25lb batches and that 50lb mixer looks like it would suck to clean in my non-commercial kitchen. Not sure it would even fit in my double sink.

Hopefully my shop sink will be enough to clean it, but I live in the south so I can take it outside and use a water hose if all else fails.

Grimpuppy Whew, there is no comparison. Amazing.

Jamieson22 Excellent point that I had thought about while wishing for the mixer & hoping I could do a better job with a mixer than by hand. Good point though & something I should still consider along with whether or not I will get that much better of a job & save that much time relative to mixing 25 pound batches.

Sometimes I find that larger equipment is actually easier to clean up because I can get my hands and arms into it plus I hate tiny cracks and digging stuff out of the corners and such. We shall see soon enough.

I purchased the 50# tilt mixer about 2 years ago.I use it for all my sausage mixes. Works well when attached to your grinder when making 25# or more batches. When I make smaller batches I use the hand crank. A friend of mine watched mine at work liked it and purchased his own.

I have hand cranked that 20 pound mixer for 8 minutes more times than I can count. It will give ya a workout. I upgraded to the 22 grinder and wasn’t sure I wanted the mixer. Then I thought back on all the times cranking that handle. It wasn’t fun memories so I git the mixer to hook to grinder.

I have a 20lb mixer that attaches to my grinders. Purchased before I discovered Walton’s. It seems to max at slightly over 15 lbs to mix well, 20 lbs and it would be close to overflowing. Toying with the 50 lb tilt mixer for those larger batches so I don’t have to reload the 20 pounder again and again. As for the hand rank or mixing by hand…I’d never go back. Helps to make a better batch of sausage.

If I may ask, what brand is your 20lber?

I have the same 50lb mixer but its a cabelas unit. It mixes down to 15lbs efficiently but is rather large. I have a 15lb hand crank but really want a 20lb that will fit my grinder. A commercial hobart unit is out of the question due to storing the thing. I dont have a dedicated meatgistics room…yet and have to roll my carts into the kitchen to process.

Smokinbubba, mine is a LEM. It came with a hand crank too, but I have never used it. It does not tilt, although I wish it had that option. With a 50 lb mixer, that would be about mandatory in my opinion. It would be easier to unload a large batch into a lug, than taking it out by hand. There is another company named Meat/meatyourmaker dot com, and their prices are very competitive - sale prices are hard to beat. So shop them and compare with Walton’s. I’ll grab the better price. Good shopping! The grinder attached mixers sure make life easy.

Grimpuppy

The smaller LEM mixers that attach to their grinders are advertised as 25 pound mixers. Is that the one you have? Just curious cause I have their 20 pound and there is no way it will attach to a grinder.

Hey guys, been a minute!!! Dropping in to order some steak spice and thought I’d see what’s going on in Meatgistis Land…
I’ve owned and destroyed ever size mixer know to man. Even had a welder reinforce some of the parts to no avail.
If you’re putting cure in the mix for ANYTHING you’re making just save your pennies, troll facebook marketplace and the auction site, find a closing grocery store or pizza joint and get a Hobart A120 mixer. They are designed for the stress of the restaurant business are are durable enough to last with knuckleheads like me running the snot out of them. Game changer for our entire operation.
Hope everyone is well, FL is great but not processing just feels wrong…

Parksider I always keep my eyes open for a Hobart, but so far no luck. Nice to seee you posting again.

Good to see you chilli dog man! Keep some distance from them toothy reptiles!!

Sorry been under the weather for a few days, but I got the mixer and when separated from the stand it is not that huge. It is very washable in a sink with a little imagination and in a deep it is no problem.

I want one of those rolls mixer but the storage will be an issue since my wife wants to have all my “toys” put away and not messing her beautiful house

Dr_Pain Time to convert that spare bedroom into a second kitchen.

HAHA, The kids would not be happy coming home to their bedroom being a meat processing room. Imagine the bad dreams they would have after looking at the equipment as the last thing they do before falling asleep
