I'm thinking of grinding deer for burger and would like to buy a used grinder, prefer electric, go a bad shoulder. Any input on pro's and con's?

That all depends on how much meat you want to grind.They go all the way from small hand grinders to large commercial ones .I have a Kitchen-aid mixer and use the grinder attachment, it works very well.You can get a sausage stuffer attachment for that.You might check this to see the different types http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com

A friend bought one on e-Bay and is pretty pleased with it.

Go on e-bay and look for a hobart or go to restaurant closure auctions and hang out there. I bought a $5000 buffalo chopper (hobart) and it has a pto (power take off) that you can install a meat grinder or other attachments into. The buffalo chopper cost me $150.00 and bought a grinder off e-bay for 80 bucks. I got almost $6000 worth of equipment for $230.00 although I did buy new blades for the chopper as well as the grinder that cost another 300 bucks or so. If you can swing it buy a seperate hand crank stuffer, only use a grinder as a stuffer as a last resort. The grinder will mush up your nicely ground meat and overheat it a little if you use it for stuffing. Stuffers seem almost impossible to find used for some strange reason.

Hobart is the way to go.You should check around for a place that sells used equipment locally first.There are people that service the equipment in your local grocery store,ask them who does their service work they should know.
