THOR 3.0 Stone Crusher

🛠 3.0 m Working Width — Maximum Coverage

The 3.0 m working width delivers approximately 0.9 hectares per hour of fully crushed ground — 25% more than the THOR 2.4. On large-scale projects (100+ hectares), this difference saves days of operating time, thousands of liters of fuel, and significant labor cost. For professional contractors bidding on large contracts, the higher throughput directly improves profitability per hectare.

💥 Permanent Stone Elimination

Stones up to 400 mm are pulverized into particles <50 mm — they permanently cease to exist as obstacles. No frost-heave recurrence, no re-picking in future seasons. This is the only truly permanent solution to stony ground, and the THOR 3.0 delivers it at the fastest rate available in a tractor-mounted format.

🗃 Zero Waste — Nothing to Haul

All crushed material stays in the soil, improving its drainage, aeration, and structural stability. There are zero haulage costs, zero dump-site fees, and zero environmental impact from trucking stone off-site. On large projects, the eliminated haulage cost alone can exceed the price difference between a stone crusher and a stone picker over just a few seasons.

⚡ 230 HP Power — Relentless Force

The 230 hp minimum power input ensures the THOR 3.0 maintains full rotor speed even in the densest stone conditions. Where lower-powered crushers bog down and lose productivity in heavy rock, the THOR 3.0 powers through — maintaining a consistent 3 km/h ground speed for predictable daily output that contractors can reliably schedule and quote.

💪 Tungsten Carbide Hammers

Equipped with tungsten carbide-tipped hammers — among the hardest commercially available materials. These hammers deliver exceptional service life on all common rock types (granite, basalt, limestone, sandstone). Each hammer has multiple cutting faces and is individually rotatable and replaceable. We supply replacement sets at competitive prices worldwide.

💰 Lower Cost Per Hectare

Wider coverage means fewer passes, less fuel, and less labor per hectare crushed. Combined with a lower machine purchase price and significantly lower hammer replacement costs compared to premium brands, the THOR 3.0 delivers the lowest cost per hectare of any professional stone crusher in the 3.0 m class — a decisive advantage for contract operators working on thin margins.

⚙️ Cab-Controlled Output Size

The hydraulically adjustable rear anvil allows infinite output-size control from the tractor cab while the machine operates. Close the gap for fine <30 mm output suitable for seedbed preparation; open it for maximum throughput with coarser <100 mm output. This real-time adjustability lets the operator optimize for changing conditions within a single field — without stopping or leaving the cab.

🌾 Large-Scale Agriculture — Estate Farms & Broadacre Operations

For farms with hundreds or thousands of hectares of stony land, the THOR 3.0 is the only practical choice. Its 0.9 hectares per hour throughput means a single machine can process 7+ hectares per working day. Over a season, this translates to hundreds of hectares of permanently improved, stone-free arable land — eliminating the annual stone-picking cycle and improving yields for every future crop.

🏗️ Highway & Road Construction — Subgrade Processing at Scale

Major road and highway projects often span tens of kilometers of rocky terrain. The THOR 3.0 crushes rocky subgrade into compactable aggregate across a 3.0 m swath — preparing the road corridor faster and at lower cost than any excavate-haul-import workflow. The crushed-in-place material forms an excellent foundation layer with natural drainage.

🚧 Pipeline & Infrastructure Corridors

Long-distance pipeline, fibre optic, and high-voltage cable corridors cross many kilometers of rocky ground. The THOR 3.0 processes the full corridor width in fewer passes, producing fine backfill material from excavated rock spoil. Eliminating imported bedding material and spoil disposal on corridor-length projects generates massive cost savings.

🌳 Mine Rehabilitation & Large-Scale Land Reclamation

Post-mining rehabilitation projects can span hundreds of hectares of rock waste that must be converted into a medium capable of supporting vegetation. The THOR 3.0 processes this material at the highest rate available, crushing raw rock into plantable soil at 0.9 ha/h. This dramatically shortens rehabilitation timelines and helps operators meet regulatory requirements faster.

🏛️ Government & Military — Large Area Ground Preparation

Government agencies and military engineering units managing large land areas — airfields, training grounds, base expansions, national park infrastructure — use the THOR 3.0 for rapid, large-scale ground preparation on rocky terrain. The 3.0 m width and 230 hp capability allow a single tractor-crusher unit to process areas that would require multiple smaller machines or extensive manual work.

Q1: What is the key difference between the THOR 3.0 and the THOR 2.4?

The THOR 3.0 has a 3.0 m working width versus 2.4 m, delivers approximately 25% higher hourly coverage (0.9 vs 0.72 ha/h), and requires 230 hp versus 180 hp. Both models share the same crushing principle, hammer technology, output quality, and build standard. Choose the THOR 3.0 when your tractor has 230+ hp and your project scale justifies the higher throughput.

Q2: What types of rock can the THOR 3.0 crush?

Virtually all common rock types including limestone, sandstone, chalk, shale, slate, granite, basalt, and mixed glacial deposits. The 230 hp power input provides sufficient energy to maintain consistent crushing performance even on the hardest rock types. Hammer wear rate varies with hardness — we recommend specific configurations based on your rock type.

Q3: What tractors are compatible with the THOR 3.0?

Any tractor with at least 230 hp, a Category 2 three-point hitch, and 2 double-acting hydraulic remotes. Popular models include John Deere 8R/8RT, New Holland T8, Case IH Optum/Magnum, Fendt 900/1000 Vario, Massey Ferguson 8700/8S, and Claas Axion 900/Xerion series.

Q4: How many hectares per day can the THOR 3.0 process?

At approximately 0.9 hectares per hour and an 8-hour working day, theoretical daily output is around 7.2 hectares. In real-world conditions with refueling, turning, and varying stone density, most operators achieve 5–7 hectares per day of effective crushed coverage.

Q5: How long do the tungsten carbide hammers last?

Hammer life depends on rock type and density. Typical range is 50–200 operating hours per set. Each hammer has multiple cutting faces — rotate to a fresh edge before full replacement, effectively doubling service life. We supply replacement hammer sets globally at significantly lower prices than competing brands.

Q6: Can the THOR 3.0 work with a rock rake?

Yes. For extremely high stone density, the most efficient workflow is: first pass with a rock rake to windrow surface stones, then a second pass with the THOR 3.0 to crush the concentrated windrows. This maximizes crusher throughput per hour by concentrating the material.

Q7: Can I control the output particle size?

Yes. The hydraulic rear anvil is infinitely adjustable from the tractor cab while the machine operates. Fine (<30 mm) for seedbed, medium (<50 mm) for general agriculture, or coarse (<100 mm) for maximum throughput in road subgrade applications.

Q8: Does the crushed material improve soil quality?

Yes. Crushed stone particles mixed into the soil profile improve drainage, reduce waterlogging, enhance aeration, increase load-bearing capacity, and help break up heavy clay structure. Over time, fields treated with a stone crusher typically show improved root development and higher crop yields compared to untreated stony ground.

Q9: Do you ship the THOR 3.0 internationally?

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

Q10: What routine maintenance does the THOR 3.0 require?

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