I bought a 1/2 hp from Cabelas about 3 years ago and have been well pleased so far. I usually save all my grind for the end of the season so I’m usually doing 3 to 4 deer at one time. I almost bought the 3/4 but I’m glad I didn’t now. That 1/2 will grind faster than I can feed it. The 3/4 would have been over kill.
