We have the Cabelas 1 3/4 hp Cabelas.. Susan hands meat into the top hopper....i push it down the tube to the grinder as fast as we can..it devours the meat..3 tote tubs of trimming..gone in under 10 minutes..no straining..no problems..i bought this one out of USA AND Dave..AKA BIGBORE" picked it up and dropped it off..like the new Carnivore design..new front cap has much better places to tighten and loosen by hand.
Keep plates knives mated. Period . freeze the auger, plate, knife for 3 hours or so before using.
Put meat in freezer for 3 hours prior to grinding..really helps the grinding process .
Cheers
