    Thanks for all of your responses. I haven’t got a chance to use it yet, and am looking forward to it. It sounds like a very versatile tool.
    For those of you looking to buy one, I would think this would be as good as time as any with the restaurant business being pretty tough right now.

      IVERYAN I’ve been looking into used restaurant equipment thinking used equipment should be at it lowest. Odd enough, it is at an all time high in terms of auctions. Everyone thinks they can beat the odds. I think prices should drop in a few months. While I am truly sorry about the small business owner, it is just like owners in 2009, we all thought if we waited long enough, it would work out. It appears that 60% of independents that closed will never reopen. Very sad indeed.

        Just I have a buffalo chopper 84145 I believe and after I cleaned looks very nice , this machine was storage in my aunt’s garage together with a bunch os attachments , the problem is that I have it now and I do not know how to use it. Cut vegetable so fast and if you don’t pay attention will make it pure , but is this the only job that this machine does?

          rangel42 https://www.webstaurantstore.com/blog/2604/what-is-a-buffalo-chopper.html Here is a place to go to learn about your machine just put in webstraurantstore.com where the link is removed. It gives you a lot of good information about Buffalo choppers.

            A Hobart Buffalo Chopper is an commercial-sized food processor. Yours is a very nice machine.

            Sausage makers like them to make fine textured emulsified sausages like wieners or bologna.

            Sometimes the attachments are useful for sausage making too. Mine is an older version of what you have and has a #12 meat grinder attachment.

            Maybe you can post some pictures of what attachments came with yours.

              rangel42 Bowl cutters can be used to make emulsified sausages like hot dogs, polish etc. There is a learning curve to using them correctly, but the possibilities are endless as they can extract protein from meat like nothing else.

                Hi everyone- I was recently able to buy a Hobart buffalo chopper at a very reasonable price and am wondering if anyone else on this board uses one. My main questions are about making hot dogs and other sausages using the process of emulsification. There is some information on-line about emulsifying meat with a buffalo chopper, but 1st hand advice is always better.
                Thanks

                IVERYAN check out Eckkhard The German Butcher on YouTube. Lots of emulsified sausage making videos using a chopper or food processor. He has some interesting old school techniques.

                    #1 tip, don’t overload the thing! It can make a ^ell of a mess! The first time I used mine I had meat oozing everywhere. Use ice to keep the meat super cold would be tip #2. I make my bambi dogs with mine. About 2 min per batch, makes things go quickly.

                                Deepwoodsbutcher IVERYAN that guy is a hoot. He reminds me of a couple of past sausage makers/butchers I have known. Those guys made it look simple, used a common sense approach based on experience and were willing to help you along the way. He has some good videos. Thanks for the share

                                  I watch a few of his videos and he is pretty creative. I get a laugh out of seeing how the computer generated narration subtitles get confused with what he is saying because of his thick German accent.
