Looking to get a new stuffer. Have been looking at the Tre Spade brand (made in Italy), either vertical and horizontal. Anybody know anything about these stuffers?

Well if Italian stuffers are anything like the majority of Italian olive oil I would watch out cause it most likely won't be real

Interesting how you have your liquor distributed along the counter-top so as to never be too far from a bottle.Originally posted by merrell View PostI have an older 15 lb vertical model. No idea how old, I bought it used[IMG]

I recently sold the Tre-spade, and the omcan. Thought for sure I would be kicking my self in the A$$ for doing this, but I am not, because I just aquired a F.Dick from germany. I made great money off the two that I sold, and may as well say, I stole this one 200 bucks for the 25lb F.Dick, and an antique that I'm still waiting on info. here is the link to a thread I have with lots of pics added on the antique. http://www.smokedmeat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23557Originally posted by Fishawn View PostI've heard of them, but that's aboot it....

What I will say about the Tre-spade stuffer is that it is a VERY GOOD manual stuffer, and between it and a F.Dick they are the two top notch best stuffer's there are.
they are made about as strong as they can come, as for Vert. or Horz. that is just personal preference, I prefer the Vert as it takes up less room in your working area.
this is what you would see inside for gears....

I paid almost a thousand for the omcan that I had (New, 30 lb stainless) and I am much happier having a 70 year old Tre-spade or F.Dick, after only 2 years, the Omcan is in the gargage, but the others are older then me, and will still out live me,,,Originally posted by Richtee View Post
Rich, F.Dick also makes some of the Finest, Best. knife steel's you'll ever find

Tre Spade stuffer
I have 3 stuffers: one Tre spade 5 pound (although I can put 6 lbs of meat in it) to develope recipes, one Tre spade 15 pound that is my main tool, and three years ago, I made the mistake of buying a 30 lbs Cabelas stuffer to use during the hunting season and to make big batches when busy. My two Tre spades have metal gears, metal shaft and leave little meat at the bottom when finished. The Cabelas is made of aluminum gears and the shaft is also made of aluminum. The gears look so fragile that I wouldn't even use the small spout on it for fear of breaking the gears or the shaft. It also leaves at least 1 1/2 pound of residu at the end. I haven't used the Cabelas for more than three or four times in the first month that I bought it and now I use it for decoration in the shop. It is so cheaply made that I wouldn't even sell it for fear loosing my reputation.
The point that I want to make is as far as sausage stuffers are conserned, don't buy cheap and check what material the gears and shaft are made of.Wisdom is intelligence shaped by experience.Comment

Thanks for all the info .... I actually bought the Tre Spade 11 pounder. Best stuffer ever .... Solid construction, enamelled and stainless steel throughout. Double geared for faster re-loads and NO PLASTIC gears.
Works like a dream .... highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a good quality stufferRon
