Walton's 50# mixer
-
Very nice review. Definitely think ov an upgrade from my small 20.
-
samspade In all honesty the 20 would have worked fine for me, but my body is just too wore out to be cranking a handle, so I went with the motorized function and I absolutely do not regret it.

mrobisr I just did 30 lbs. And wish I had a way to power it.

samspade yeah I like my 20lb mixer but I would sure love to be able to hook it to the grinder.

mrobisr 15 years ago I would have laughed at needing another machine to power there turning of the handle…now I sweat if I have to turn the crank manually on a sausage stuffer. I spoke to Rebecca Thisthlewaite yesterday for the podcast. She works with Oregon State University and their Niche Meat Processing Assistance (https://www.nichemeatprocessing.org/) she takes health as seriously as I used to. Sort of inspired me to get back into shape. Shes probably my age and looks significantly younger!

Adding a grinder drivin meat mixer was a game changer for me. I’m still using a hand crank stuffer but have started looking at an electric one, lol. No problem for sausage but I really enjoy my snack sticks.
-
samspade i have no doubt and now that I have experienced the flip the switch and watch I’m surely not going back.

Jonathon when I was active duty and in superior condition I didn’t even own and electric grinder. I butchered pigs, calves, and deer and used the hand turned grinder, but that’s probably why my body is worn out, too many push-ups and hand turning tools. That’s a very interesting link, thanks.

Tex_77 Ain’t nothing wrong with the dad bod.

Austin Wait till you are over 60 have grand kids and and then say that. It then become dad bod mod.
-
I think getting older just means prioritizing the hand cranks you’d like to automate. Mixing or stuffing? Eventually I figure it will be both.
-
Can’t seem to find a picture of the mixer that will give me an idea of whether or not it will hook up to my grinder. The description leads me to believe it is capable of being hooked up with grinders that are not Walton’s. Can anyone confirm that? I have a #22 Torrey commercial table top grinder.
-
Hope this helps

There is another thread here somewhere of someone successfully hooking that up to a cabelas grinder, using a piece of pvc to shim diameter differences
-
Grimpuppy this is great! Thank you!

Been curious if this would work with my LEM 22.

Jamieson22 I think it would. I believe it is the same mixer as the LEM, and also the same mixer that Meat! sells. Just looking at pics and reading specs. LEM mixers hook up to LEM grinders, and I’ve seen 2 threads here showing this 50lb mixer hooked up to Cabelas, which is same as Weston and Meat basically.
I wish Walton’s sold the 20lb one that hooks up to grinder, LEM has that one also. I bought the 20 or 25lb mixer from Meat before I saw Walton’s or LEM .

Ordered the Walton’s 50# mixer last night. Got a good deal with it being on sale and having the live stream coupon. Excited to add it to my line-up. I don’t think it will work with my current grinder, but that’s OK for now.

Darn, missed the live stream yesterday as I had to take car to shop. What is the coupon? I may bite.
