A #12 is the most common size for hunters, and the #22, #32 and #42 grinders move enough meat per minute for bulk batches and small shops. Prices run from under $200 for budget #12 models with aluminum heads to nearly $1,000 for a 1.5 HP #32. The bigger machines weigh 45 to 95 lb, so plan where one will live before you buy. Check whether a model is rated for bones if you make raw pet food.
