THOR 2.4 Stone Crusher

💥 Permanent Stone Elimination

Unlike rakes, pickers, or buriers that relocate or hide stones, the THOR 2.4 physically destroys them. Stones up to 400 mm are pulverized into particles smaller than 50 mm — they cease to exist as obstacles. No regrowth, no frost heave bringing them back, no future re-picking required. This is the only truly permanent solution.

🗃 Zero Waste — Nothing to Haul

There is no stone material to collect, transport, stockpile, or dispose of. The crushed aggregate stays in the soil, improving its structure. This eliminates all haulage costs, dump-site fees, and the environmental impact of trucking stone off-site. For large-scale operations, these savings alone can exceed the machine’s purchase price within a few seasons.

🌱 Soil Structure Improvement

Crushed stone particles integrate into the soil, improving drainage, aeration, and structural stability. On heavy clay soils, the addition of fine aggregate creates a more open structure that resists compaction and waterlogging. Agronomically, this produces better root development and higher crop yields over time.

🛠 2.4 m Working Width

The 2.4-meter working width provides efficient coverage at 3 km/h — approximately 0.7 hectares per hour of fully crushed, stone-free ground. For large fields, road corridors, and pipeline routes, this represents dramatically faster progress than any collect-and-haul stone removal method.

💪 Tungsten Carbide Hammers

The crushing rotor is equipped with tungsten carbide-tipped hammers — one of the hardest materials commercially available. These hammers deliver exceptional service life even when crushing the hardest rock types (granite, basalt, limestone). Hammers are individually replaceable, and we supply replacement sets at competitive prices worldwide.

💰 Exceptional Value vs. Premium Brands

Comparable crushing performance to premium European stone crushers at a substantially lower investment cost. Combined with lower hammer replacement costs, direct factory support, and faster delivery, the THOR 2.4 offers one of the strongest total cost-of-ownership propositions in the professional stone crusher market.

⚙️ Cab-Controlled Output Size

The hydraulically adjustable rear anvil allows the operator to control the output particle size from the tractor cab — without stopping. Need finer output for seedbed preparation? Close the anvil gap. Working in extreme stone density and need maximum throughput? Open it up. This real-time adjustability makes the THOR 2.4 adaptable to a wide range of conditions and applications within a single field.

🌾 Agriculture – Permanent Stone Elimination for Arable Land

For farms on rocky or stony soil, the annual cycle of frost heave bringing new stones to the surface is a constant battle. The THOR 2.4 breaks this cycle by crushing stones in place — both surface and subsurface. The crushed aggregate enriches the soil, and there are no intact stones left to rise back up. This permanently improves the land for all future cultivation, seeding, and harvesting operations.

🏗️ Road & Civil Construction – Subgrade Stabilization

Before laying road base, the THOR 2.4 crushes rocky subgrade into a uniform, compactable aggregate layer. This eliminates the cost of excavating rock, trucking it away, and importing fill material. The crushed-in-place material forms an excellent subgrade foundation with good load-bearing characteristics and natural drainage.

🚧 Pipeline & Utility Corridors

Pipeline, fibre optic, and utility trench backfill must be free of large rocks that can damage buried infrastructure. The THOR 2.4 crushes rocky spoil along the trench corridor, producing fine backfill material from the excavated rock itself. This eliminates the need to import specialized bedding material and removes the cost of disposing of rocky spoil.

🌳 Land Reclamation & Mine Rehabilitation

Post-mining and quarry rehabilitation projects require vast areas of rocky ground to be converted into soil capable of supporting vegetation. The THOR 2.4 processes raw rock waste into a plantable medium by crushing it to fine aggregate and mixing it with available topsoil. This dramatically accelerates the revegetation timeline and satisfies regulatory land rehabilitation requirements.

⚽ Sports Turf & Landscaping – Deep Rock Processing

For sites with extremely high rock content — where stone buriers or pickers cannot cope — the THOR 2.4 provides the definitive solution. Crush all rock material in the profile, then finish with a rotavator for the final seedbed. This approach creates a completely stone-free growing medium to a significant depth, ensuring premium playing surfaces and long-lasting turf establishment.

Q1: What is the difference between a stone crusher and a stone picker or rock rake?

A rock rake windrows stones for secondary collection. A stone picker collects stones into a bunker for removal. A stone crusher like the THOR 2.4 physically pulverizes stones into fine particles that remain in the soil. Crushing is the only method that permanently eliminates stones — there is nothing to collect, haul, or dispose of, and no stones can return through frost heave.

Q2: What types of rock can the THOR 2.4 crush?

The THOR 2.4 crushes virtually all common rock types including limestone, sandstone, chalk, shale, slate, granite, basalt, and mixed glacial deposits. Hammer wear rate varies with rock hardness — softer rocks (limestone, chalk) result in longer hammer life, while harder rocks (granite, basalt) wear hammers faster. We recommend specific hammer configurations based on your rock type.

Q3: What is the maximum stone size the THOR 2.4 can handle?

The THOR 2.4 crushes stones up to approximately 400 mm (16 inches) in diameter in normal operation. For stones significantly larger than this, a preliminary pass with a rock rake to windrow oversized boulders is recommended before crushing.

Q4: What tractors are compatible with the THOR 2.4?

Any tractor with at least 180 hp, a Category 2 three-point hitch, and 2 double-acting hydraulic remotes. The rear axle must support the 2,300 kg machine weight. Popular models include John Deere 7R/8R, New Holland T7/T8, Case IH Puma/Optum, Fendt 700/900 Vario, Massey Ferguson 7700/8700, and Claas Axion/Xerion series.

Q5: How many hectares per hour can the THOR 2.4 cover?

At 3 km/h with a 2.4 m working width, theoretical coverage is approximately 0.72 hectares per hour. Real-world output depends on stone density, rock hardness, and desired output size. In moderate stone conditions, most operators achieve 0.5–0.7 hectares per hour of effective coverage.

Q6: How long do the tungsten carbide hammers last?

Hammer life depends on rock type and density. In typical agricultural conditions with mixed-hardness glacial stone, expect 50–200 operating hours per set. Each hammer has multiple cutting faces — when one face is worn, the hammer can be rotated to expose a fresh edge before full replacement is needed, effectively doubling service life.

Q7: Can I control the output particle size?

Yes. The hydraulically adjustable rear anvil controls the maximum output size from the tractor cab while the machine is operating. Close the gap for finer output (<30 mm); open it for faster throughput with coarser output (<100 mm). This gives you precise control over the final result without stopping.

Q8: Can I use the THOR 2.4 together with a rock rake?

Absolutely. For fields with very high stone density, the most efficient workflow is: first pass with a rock rake to windrow surface stones into concentrated rows, then a second pass with the THOR 2.4 to crush the windrows. This concentrates the crushing work and dramatically increases throughput per hour.

Q9: Do you ship the THOR 2.4 internationally?

Yes, we export worldwide. Production takes 15–20 days, with shipping depending on destination. We handle all export documentation and offer CIF or FOB pricing. Please contact our sales team for a detailed quotation.

Q10: What routine maintenance does the THOR 2.4 require?

Routine maintenance includes: inspecting hammer condition and rotating or replacing worn hammers; greasing rotor bearings every 8–10 hours; checking wear plate condition inside the crushing chamber; inspecting hydraulic hoses, cylinders, and connections; checking PTO cardan shaft and slip clutch; verifying all bolts after the first 5 hours and periodically thereafter. We recommend a thorough inspection every 50 operating hours in heavy stone conditions.
