yeah your right, the LEM mixer is not really a need, more of a preferrence, guess i will wait until Cabelas comes out with a 25 pound mixer, until then i still have my old faithful hand crank mixer.

I found a website that makes adaptor to go from LEM grinder to Cabelas mixer but not the other way around. I sent email to them asking. The plastic adaptor is reasonable at 45.00 they make a metal one at 202.00. I like the LEM mixer and would be willing to pay the extra price. I have seen one in action but up to now the only way i can see to get one to work is to sell my Carnivore 1 hp and buy the LEM grinder to go with it. The hunt goes on.
