Thread: Mincers and sausage makers?

I've got the hand operated versions of both of these. They get the job done, but are painfully slow.

The mincer is a real pain to operate, as I spend more time unblocking it and taking it apart to unwrap meat gunk from the auger and plate than I do winding the handle. I've put up with it for the last 20 years as I only do a batch every now and then.

However I've been offered a cow. Yes...an entire cow! The deal is I can have half if I turn it into mince. The guy said it could be a regular deal between us if I'm keen. Sooooo....I'm seriously thinking of buying a more commercial style mincer.

Thoughts? Experiences? Ideas?
