Sausage stuffers... Water vs hydraulic

Hello!
I am currently in the market for a new stuffer, with around a 50 lb. capacity.
I'm weighing the pros and cons of a hydraulic vs a water stuffer. I make a lot of course ground product and need to get through a few hundred pounds a day.
Any advice?
Thank you!!!

At a few hundred pounds a day, I think I'd go the full commercial route. A knee operated job for health and safety.

Something like the US equivalent of this:

FWIW....

Here's a 50 lb. hydraulic stuffer for about $2,000

Holy crap! I've been looking at a similar model, but it costs over three times that amount. Do you use one of these?

Change the name on the make and that's looks just like mine. :D

No problem at 600 lbs + per day (some days more depending on the batch) have been made using one of these

I payed $2000 for mine -- being in the right place at the right time :lol:

No, I don't use one like that.
I just happened to stumble upon it a few weeks ago.
