Hamburgers get beef fat; sausage gets pork fat, here.
YMMV For sausage we use straight pork butts for making breakfast and Italian sausages. Buy them on sale for $.99 a pound and they are just about the perfect fat/lean ratio at roughly 30/70. Add the seasonings and you are good to go. Yes. Do not trim!

Of course not.
I’m talking about boning a quarter dedicated to grind. If you were starting with a roast I guess so. Seems pretty slow though.

My grinder is bigger.......pathetic!
We have ground deer in the Kitchen Aid attachment. It taught me to cut in straps. And did great work, but was slowwww. Ours is the bowl lift type with a bigger motor, the small ones might get hot.
Found a 3/4hp #12 older Cabella's on Market Place. Can drop 1"steaks cut from pork butts into it. At a nice steady pace. Beats the hell out of the mixer attachment, but I don't "need" it to grind stuff.
Unless I want to grind a moose. Moose skew the meat universe!😁 A guy from work burned out his kitchenaid grinding an elk. Kitchenaid replaced it under warranty but he went to a dedicated grinder.
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

We have ground a ton of deer with a couple hand grinders going. It’s slow and we would have to trim most of the silver skin off before grinding. Then went to a small electric LEM around the size of Killer Bee’s and still use it for small jobs but when we want to grind a bunch I take it over to a buddys 3hp commercial grinder, it’s a beast and it just hums along.

Add the seasonings and you are good to go. I do the same w shoulders. But, I don’t think the shoulders I get are 30%. Really don’t leave grease in the skillet. Sausage, IMO, needs the fat.

Pork butts come from the shoulders. Why they call them butts is beyond me. Because they used to salt pack them in wooden barrels, called Butts. Back in wood ships and sails days. Common explanation, but apparently a debatable one. Skepticism of the "Boston Butt" The New York Times and other reputable publications have repeated this story, but common sense should make us skeptical. Can you think of any other food named for its shipping container name? There are plenty of historical problems with this explanation, too. For starters, Virginia and North Carolina, not New England, were the centers of the pork trade in the 18th century until eclipsed by Cincinnati in the 1830s and then by Chicago. I have searched high and low but cannot find a single printed use of the term "Boston butt" in the colonial era or even before the Civil War. Other Geographically-Names Cuts The term originated in the late 19th century, as railroads transformed the commercial meat packing industry from regional to national. Butchers in different parts of the country had slightly different ways of carving up pigs and cows. Other states and cities lent their names to various cuts as national packers standardized butchering. Thus we have New York Strip steaks and St. Louis-style ribs—another favorite of Southern barbecue cooks. The pork shoulder originally had several other geographically-named cuts. In the meatpacking trade, the Kansas City Sun reported in 1892, "careful requirements are formulated for standard sweet pickled hams and shoulders, New York shoulders, Boston shoulders, California hams, skinned hams, pickled bellies, etc." According to agriculture journals and meat cutter manuals from the early 20th century, New York shoulders had the shank "cut off above the knee, trimmed close and smooth, and square at the butt." A "California ham" was not ham at all. It was "well-rounded at the butt, and trimmed as near to the shape of a ham as possible." This latter cut was also known as the "picnic" (for reasons I've been unable to discover), and that term is now the standard for the lower part of the pork shoulder. Agricultural Terminology As the use of "butt" in these agricultural manuals suggests, the name of the Boston-style cut had nothing to do with shipping containers. Consider the butt of a rifle or a cigar butt. Either crafty Bostonians were putting all sorts of things in barrels and shipping them south, or "butt" was simply a generic term for, as Merriam-Webster phrases it, "the large or thicker end part of something"—the pork shoulder, in this case. Boston didn't have a monopoly on butts, either. The 1912 Bulletin of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign observed, "Milwaukee style butts are the same as Boston butts with the neck bone and rib left on." My research even turned up a passing mention of a "New Orleans cut" of pork shoulder in 1911, but that one never became popular, which is a shame. https://www.southernliving.com/food/bbq/why-is-it-called-boston-butt

This is the one I bought years ago. I have done many deer with it as well as several moose, which it blows through with no problem. I only paid $114.00 for it on Amazon, now they cost $225.00. I would recommend that when you make your purchase make sure it is at least 3000 Watts, minimum! A friend had one likes yours. It worked. But to say you could blow through meat would be very optimistic. The tray only held about 3 pounds of meat plus the meat had to be cut into small pieces, which added to the time spent. The grinder was very noisy and very slow compared to any quality 3/4 hp or bigger grinder. If the meat was not closely trimmed it would bog down often requiring it to be disassembled and the grinding plates cleaned often. Exactly my friends experience as well.

YMMV Agree. We get leaf lard and grass fed perinephric beef fat from a local farm. We grind some without fat, but for burger I like 10-15% and sausage/chorizo 25% or so.
