For some reason I just want to get a grinder that gets the job done faster. Even though maybe 3 deer a year is all I see in the future. I use the STX 3000 and can't even say how many pounds i ran through it but i really like making sausage and burger so the faster the better. I usually single grind through the fine plate as double grinding seems to not feed well in that machine. Looking at the Meat 1.5 hp #32 size as some have said going from a #12 to #22 wasn't a huge difference. So anyone got the #32 they can comment on?
 
I bought a Meat #22 last year and I can’t feed it fast enough.

Did an antelope, cow elk and a few deer last year.
 
1.5 hp seems big. I use a 1hp grind Lee and can grind an elk quickly.

I like to double grind - large then small. I don’t know the numbers. Small holes grinded quickly. We ground only large hole size one year. Family didn’t like the meat grind that size.
