Just a suggestion... You would be a lot better off to take some of your flatter rocks and lay them out in the bottom of these puddles/ holes.. and then bust gravel over the top... So then you're only breaking the biggest pieces with the machine and not having to break every single little piece; so it's a much more efficient operation, and also it will keep the gravel from sinking into the mud so easy over time.
I adore your videos and in the next video you could make a receiver for the rock crusher so that you would fill it once or a few times and that's it that way it would be much less work for you
Need a conveyor belt so you can take the crusher to the rubble dump and crush gravel straight into a tipper trailer. Saves double-handling into the trailer, plus spreading is easier from a tipper trailer (like Andrew Camarata does gravel with his tip truck). Munched that flint no problem - awesome machine!
This is one project that will let you know how good a welder you actually are... Can anyone say stress testing.. Good video, I was really hoping to see it in more action after the last one. Thanks for the quality entertainment.
When I saw that you were building a crusher I thought why would anyone want/need to build 1. Now that I have seen it in action I realise that the many cubic metres of rocks and rubble that I have here could easily be processed by 1 of these. Absolutely brilliant work, again.
Regardless, speedup or normal speed, watching your crusher crush it's stuff is more appealing than watching paint dry any day Donn. Machine looks and works terrific and the end results are less mud tracked in and around, very good thought and build !!
Bart.... do you miss all the painting on Seeker. Lol. Just give it a year and there will be more to do. Awesome build Donn. I can watch a crusher all day long. Of course that was my job for awhile 🙄
All his opportunity for spiritual growth is had turned to dust now that he can not sit and watch the rocks grow. Watching paint dry is way overrated with the fast drying synthetic paints.
Until he gets hardened steel cutter teeth, a hopper will probably overload the crusher - too many contact points which will put way more force onto the moving parts. Once he get the proper hardened cutter / crusher teeth that will probably work!
And now the next project a grader (rake)/roller to go behind the crusher, this way you can put down new stone grade (rake) and roll the hole way all in one go.

A jaw box would help. Keeping the jaw full aids the crushing and stops the material bouncing. Also a lower RPM will be good but you might find adding another flywheel the other side would stop it stalling out.
Definitely need a jack shaft; making more powder than you probably like. Base layer you're on the right track with the larger sized aggregate; top layer you actually want more concrete powder, the original cross bond's of the concrete will partially reform and really pack in well. Another trick we used on the farm was to rake in some fresh concrete powder with all of the crushed in the top layer, it really tightens up the mix, but is only useful for the finer sized aggregate, like you made in your initial tryout video. The coarse stuff you made in this video is great for the initial layers in potholes, but you need the finer stuff if you want a smoother finish.
That thing works so good, that I enjoyed 10 mins of rocks getting crashed lol. Big congratulations Donn! 🏆 I would like to know how it holds up in the long run, specially the bearings.
What a great build! 2:08 instead, back the crusher to the far side of the fill area when you start. Then, simply roll the quad forward to build the next pile.
Watching this videos reminds me how many times I’ve plugged a crusher and had to hammer out the plug. Jaw crushers are less prone to plugging but hammer type are notorious for plugging
I love your builds because you put them to work as soon as they are finished, as for rock crushing carbide teeth aside it is all about horsepower and for filling in pot-holes in your road I think that you have it just about right.
Would a "funnel" over the intake work? So you can fill the funnel and do something ells while the machine works. Or stones maybe just jams upp in it. Great construction, nice work
I think it would! The weight of the rocks would also keep the lower ones from bouncing and speed up the process. It could jam but it vibrates a lot. I think a 30 cm funnel would work great
Absolutely love the build first off. There seems to be something about the motion of the jaw that's causing it to be ineffective. To short of a stroke or to long or maybe how the lower part of the jaw moves. This looks like it would make a good secondary crusher getting fed consistently sized rock from a larger crusher. Love it man keep em coming.
That was so satisfying to watch. I would still, like to see another crushing video. Different types of country rock, river/glacial cobbles. From soft to hard. If it can crush quartz cobbles it can crush anything. Something to think about: a steal tracked micro bulldozer. 1.5 - 3 ton 20hp v2 gas engine. It would help you build your ranch roads.
You should try to adjust the tire pressure,or solve vibrations "issues" with dampening or global mass modification. The mobile jaw is closing while the trailer is boucing up : the rocks are pushed upwards when they should be pinched and crushed : take a look at reduced 0.25 speed. It's killing a lot of efficiency,the rocks are basically escaping upwards.
Hey Donn, they have hardfacing welding rods and wire. So you could just do that instead of replacing the jaws. It would save you a significant amount of time in fabrication.
I agree with some comments. A funnel would be cool plus more weight to push down. Also I feel if you put the rebar horizontal it would also push the rocks down. Plus a scoop on the bottom that flares out as wide as the wheel width to spread it out so you don’t have to rake as much. Awesome job!!
Hi Donn, That works great, watching the video was hypnotizing, and very fulfilling seeing you enjoying another one of your fantastic creations. Compliments all around !
Just wondering if bringing the crusher to the rocks, crush the rocks on the elevator you use for the logs and then haul it to the places you need the crushed rock. Only have to lift the rocks once then. Just a thought . Very nice job in the build. Of course your builds are always great to watch.
En verdad que esta maquina que construiste es util para el tratamiento de de los escombro y darle una utilidad como relleno para carretera!!! Felicidades y mil felicitaciones por tu habilidad para construir esta genial maquina!!!
You may want to use A.R. series steel for your next set of wear plates. Also if you use 1 set of horizontal crusher teeth placed like louvers down to the last 2 inches (keep that part horizontal) of jaw on the stationary side of the crusher it will help with feeding the rock through and speed up the crushing process the horizontal louvers catch and prevent the material being crushed from climbing the jaws also reducing the wear on the jaw plates
Now you need to build a conveyor belt setup to load the broken gravel into a truck like box so you can move it around and unload where you need it... Thumbs Up!
I love this series! How can you keep making better videos I don’t know. I would love to see the use of one of these Chinese small Diesel engines. Do you think you will use the crusher enough to justify this or maybe in another project?
You might experiment with varying the tire pressure or using a solid wheel of some type. As it is now, the entire machine hops up and down countering the moving jaw, but the input chunks hop out slightly before the jaw bites it. I suspect limiting the main body dynamics will let the jaw decimate the input chunks better. To this end, balancing and or reducing the speed may help too. For the average size chunk weight/mass, there may be a slower speed where the hop intensity works to your advantage. Really enjoying this series, though. I'm surprised at how effective it is. And, you get perfect driveway materials, some combo of sand, pebbles and rocks. It should roll out nicely.
hardfacing mig wire welded on top those rebars, i have used lincoln hard wire on farm implement blades(hrc hardness 60-64)it's tougher than hardox! pricey,but you find other uses for it too. and you can face the rebars again after they wear!
So rewarding to see that face of achievement looking so happy!!! Thankyou for sharing! That is great, now you need to build a mechanised rake to go with it. 😁
So now that you've had a chance to use it a couple of times, are there any changes (other than the gearing) you would have made to the design? In my opinion, that's one of the coolest things you've built!
I really like this build and have watched all the build of this you have done an awesome job. I think maybe a small counter balance on the fly wheel might take out the bounce. Any chance of a few dimensions for those of us who might be keen to try our hand at building our own. Please and thank you 😊
Another productive machine to add to the list ! Well built and should last for years to come. Pretty gooood Donn ! Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇪🇪
Wondered why you went with rebar. Figured you were planning on keeping with the recycling idea and any old rebar recovered would be welded on when these wear out.

You're messing with us. Didnt you already build the 4X4 UTV
Could you just hard face those existing jaws with the same mig wire they use for bulldozers blades ?

I think the crusher needs a big hopper so it will self feed thus pushing weight against the jaws to speed up the process
yea. Right now its manual load 1 single chunk at a time, gravity fed. Maybe you could build some kind of a chute or ramp attachment to push more in.
Until he gets hardened steel cutter teeth, a hopper will probably overload the crusher - too many contact points which will put way more force onto the moving parts. Once he get the proper hardened cutter / crusher teeth that will probably work!
I agree. Choke feed is the go

@@iteerrex8166 no it wouldn't. "real" jaw crushers also have a chute.
@@leen6bt it would depend on the design. If it’s in the shape of a static funnel, it well.

Preety good! How about using hard faced welding rod on the jaw faces? It’s designed for high abrasion environments.
Donn, it looks like your rock crusher is a very capable machine. I wish you well on your next project, and look forward to seeing it soon
I seem to recall seeing a crusher like yours at a steel works quarry in Wales which used Hadfield steel jaws. 12% Mn but where to get some?
Seems an alternative is Stellite welding rod as a hard face.
Best ASMR on the tubes!
Hell Gia! Pave your own driveway like a boss, and repurpose/recycle at the same time 🍺👍

Crushed cement is good for a base, but you're still going to need actual gravel rock for it to last.
