11 lb sausage stuffer differences ???

[Chef]

Randie N So much depends on batch size and frequency. I got a used F Dick 30 pound well before I knew about Walton’s. It is built like a tank. Making snack stick or breakfast sausage links is no problem.

Now, I do 60 and 90 pound batches about 3 times per month minimum. It is still easy to use at my age, the only difficulty is picking up the thing. And I typically stuff by myself. No cheater bar necessary to push out the meat.

Walton’s products are great for for most users and should last a life time. I haven’t used one, so I can’t speak for the gearing and how difficult it would be to make small diameter product.

Maybe someone who has used Walton’s and a F Dick could describe if there are any differences in gearing.

On the thanksblackmonday video, it says the 11 pound stuffers will be $70 off Friday through Monday? If that is correct, I will be grabbing one. I will keep my 5 pound for 16mm snack sticks.

Randie N We have a lem 10 lb stuffer and the lem 15 lb stuffer….the lem 10 lband the Walton’s 11lb look the same only difference is probably the price….I agree with ND Mike about the gears exposed on top. Don’t really like it we have used the 15lb to make sticks it was a PITA practically lifted the table off the ground but didn’t break anything….probably took a few years off the stuffers life

blackbetty61 yeah we did same thing and gave up on it with sticks. That is why I bought the Waltons 11 lb.

Grimpuppy seen that sale mentioned… that’s why i was asking some questions. I watched some old videos on the stuffer and it said they had aluminum gears. Not sure why you would want aluminum gears. The videos were a couple years old I think so notnsure what has changed if anything on new models

[Randie N]

blackbetty61 I know. The LEM stuff is expensive

[blackbetty61]

Randie N if I would’ve found Walton’s before buying lem would’ve went with Walton’s…not sure what Walton’s warranty is but lem is 5 years on the stuffers I believe……had a issue last year with my 10 lb stuffer called them sent a pic of the problem sent me a new part no questions asked

[Randie N]

I just went ahead and ordered the Waltons 11lb stuffer on black Friday sale

Good unit you wont be sorry

Randie N Walton’s does offer replacement gears on their website if you ever needed them. Jonathon did a video on maintenance on a Walton’s stuffer too where he walks you through a bunch of things.
