@@2010invent he has a lot of concrete and brick to get rid of .. he said in another video ,, where I live I have lots of rocks . some as big as his unit . would be nice to get gravel / crushed stone form the rock ..
@Thullen’s Garage this machine is a brilliant idea to fabricate out of scrap! Your idea of adding a skid plate to also compact is genius in its own right! Crush the concrete, spread it out, move the machine and let it compact what it just crushed! Well done, my hats off to you both!
Awesome work Donn! I think what I like most about your channel and what we have in common is you always build purposely built stuff 👍 No 1000cc turbocharged go karts, you make things you actually have a need for and I always enjoy that. Thanks for taking the time to make another awesome series for us!
So very true Mike, I think it's way more interesting when people build stuff that actually makes life better / easier for them. Of course turbocharged karts are cool too, lol, but this is wayyyy more appealing to me as well! You guys could do one hell of a collab. Too bad you're like 8,000 miles away from each other...
@@BarnStangz Hey it’s good to hear from you! Haha yes to bad Donn and I live so far away, I definitely would like to see some of his projects in person. Take care 👍
Granite. Quartz. Something harder. Concrete shatters pretty easy. Im no geologist but id guess it would probably work on granite but it would take a lot longer. Would definitely find out if there's any weak points in it haha
Best site around for videos of welding and fabrication mainly because no talking whilst showing work ,and the sped up video I like cause I'm smart enough to follow what's going on without every little detail explained to me
Damn! Crush those rocks and bricks to dust! What a build culminating in a 100% successful demonstration of assembly, fabrication and design skills coming together for an awesome product. Thanks for sharing the videos in this series from beginning to end. You look like you really enjoy making all these things and that's what it's all about--enjoying what you do. Keep building, designing and fabricating! I learn from every video, so thanks for sharing knowledge which is one of the greatest gifts of all.
Great job! You could try an "electric clutch" from a riding lawn mower.. would allow you to use whatever rpms you wanted but still be able to engage/disengage at will..
Congratulations, Donn! This giant coffee grinder is yet another ingenious piece of equipment finished and working perfectly. Keep on amazing is with your skills.
Really liked watching this build, you're a talented fabricator. It will be interesting to see how well the rebar holds up. If you're going to use it a lot I would invest into some hard facing rod or wire just to help slow the wear down a little bit. Again great job on this build.
Maybe a hopper chute added over the opening allowing you to load it with more than 1 or 2 pieces at a time letting the load help to work the bottom bricks or rocks downwards with their weight... Looks and works great !
You’re way too critical of yourself. Anything homemade is gonna have its little issues…it comes with the territory. You did a great job and built a very nice, useable machine. I applaud you. Don’t listen to the people criticizing you on here. If they were so capable and smart they wouldn’t be watching YOU build this thing, THEY’D be building one themselves! Great job!
I always wanted to build one, but bought an old beater/fixer upper. Had to re pour the rabbit bearings, cast new jaw plates, make new toggle, etc. That was a lot of work rehabbing it. A lot of work went into that my man, congradulations!
Damn that turned out pretty nice. Now you should add one more video when you upgrade the gearing and then when you finish the pile of concrete and have a nice road put in! What an awesome build.
to reduce the engagement speed of the clutch you can replace the springs inside it for some lighter ones, well done on completing another amazing project. much love from Denmark!
I have watched every episode with rising attention, simply love it!!! Maybe a nice addition will be some kind of shaking gutter/chute driven by the shaking of the machine wich feeds the material to the jaws. Did you tested it with rocks? I really like to know how it handles this. Greetings from a big fan!!!🇳🇱
Another triumph from Donn, fantastic ingenuity and skill, what you need now is a little conveyor to load a trailer or dumper.... Donna's building supplies lol...... Brilliant!!
Great job (as usual)! Looks like it works awesome and will be perfect for turning your supply of old concrete and broken blocks into something useful around your farm. Suggestions: Are you going to build an intermediate shaft (jackshaft) to gear it down? Seems least costly to me if you have a couple extra pulleys laying around. I'd also maybe consider a flap at the bottom that is hinged at the front and would allow the gravel to discharge toward the back. It'd still pile up, but be much easier to get to for spreading etc. Could have a simple strap or lever to hold it up when not in use.
Excellent build Donn, You could use the firewood conveyor belt and then put all the gravel into a drum of some kind with a slit on the front face. The idea is that when you want to use it you can use the forklift to drive it around, and open the little slit so the gravel comes out and then you just need to drive the section that you want to be filled with gravel.
@@UncleKennysPlace it doesn't seem that the engine is struggling. We don't know how much horsepower the crusher really takes. He could check the throttle plate position while crushing, if the governor pulls it already almost wide open, there is no power left. If it is just half open, he has enough horsepower left... And if he changes the pulleys to make the crusher rotate slower, that will increase the torque which will allow more stroke.
Aside from the fantastic workmanship on this channel one thing I've always appreciated is the silence. You just work away and don't say anything...there's no shitty music dubbed over the video it's just the actual work and I like that. So many other channels I watch seem to be more about the talking than the project and if you comment telling the shut up and work it's rude. And I also like the color scheme to always pick...black and orange is on point
Box grader is the most simple for the UTV and works amazing for that sort of thing. Could do a blade but much harder with the UTV and other farm equipment. Box grader is the way to go

I work in a rock quarry, our jaw crusher has the pully on one side then a flywheel counterweight on the other, thus balances the work load out to prevent pre mature bearing failures. Your jaw plates need to be reverse able for maximum life. They will wear the bottom out first. You also need wear plates on the sides this area wears fairly rapidly. If the stone gravel is dropping directly onto the axle under the crusher it will wear quickly to and will need to be shielded. It looked like the speed was running pretty good, if you run it at to slow a speed then more stress is put on things, its the momentum that keeps things moving.
You'd get a decent amount of the wobble out if you had some weights on the back left of the trailer, to balance out the engine weight in the front and the flywheel on the right. Also yes, making sure the flywheel is balanced would help too. Also if you want it to crush faster, you need to make a bigger cam lobe on the shaft (or slower gearing, as you mentioned. You could do both and get a pretty good boost to crush speed.) Very nice job!
BTW, your turbo diesel ATV build was the inspiration for me to build my 4x4 UTV. Might also do a 1.9 TDi ATM swap in the future on it. Right now I'm rockin' a 1.4 petrol engine with manual transmission on it.
@@DonnDIY If you want install automatic transmission check your transmission ratios, because my axles are 2.65 , and with that AT gearbox max speed on max revs are only 60km/h. Comfortable speed only about 35km/h
No worries. My current BMW differentials have 2.8...something gearing, the top speed at the moment is around 53 km/h. I use the UTV only on the homestead for work and don't do long trips. I'm just presuming that driving automatic is a bit more comfortable than manual. Especially for you on your ATV.
WOW !! All done !!! Look at her eat that concrete nice small uniform pieces !! AMAZING WORK I LOVE IT !! You dreamed it designed it and made it YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF !! SUCH A ACCOMPLISHMENT 👍👍👍 !! I love your channel !!

So why did you built this rock crusher? Is gravel expensive where you are?

Great way to recycle old concrete
You my have to build a shoot or hopper load it up and walk away let it do it’s thing crush rock
👍💯🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
I think you should build backhoe attachment for excavator or own machine save your back all picking up cement and firewood
I think you are the most interesting diy fabricator!
Check "rather be welding" 😁
Or check, grind hard plumbing.
Yeah we're sticking with donn
Doug Hale, I'll 2nd that!!!
totally agree
Finally YAY!!!!
Thanks to Donn for all the nice videos in the past!
Nicely done, You can add a skidplate under it an the use it as an compator to compact the cruched material.
I like the idea of a machine that crushes bricks only to make new bricks

I was wondering the same thing
Granite. Quartz. Something harder. Concrete shatters pretty easy. Im no geologist but id guess it would probably work on granite but it would take a lot longer. Would definitely find out if there's any weak points in it haha
Depends on the granite, there's a lot of different types. Quartz would be the real test. I'm a stonemason
Such a master at repurposing and reusing old stuff! 👍

I do think he’s cementing his place as TH-cam DIY god. :)
@@davelukeford
Yes i agree..I'd say he would be crushing all the other fabricators on TH-cam!!!
I'd be bricking it running this machine ;)
I'm very impressed with your craftsmanship and ability to build this beast

What an awesome build.
Great build on the crusher! Have old brick and needing road gravel! Fix problems on sight, priceless 👌!
Should make a second add on box to make a deeper box for more wieght creating more feed in the crusher.
You sir beat me to it, was thinking the same thing. Would also help in moving the unit to the next fill area not having to move brick and machine.
These are works of art. One man did everything. Well done.
You could put a little screen/chute underneath to further separate the fines and gravel, helpful in some situations
I was thinking he’ll build a screen table and conveyors next
It definitely gets a thumbs up. It looks awesome and works.
Как всегда очень занимательно👍
The Flywheel!! Oh My!! It's So..Momentum! And Wow! And crushing, and..Wow.
to reduce the engagement speed of the clutch you can replace the springs inside it for some lighter ones, well done on completing another amazing project. much love from Denmark!
Awesome 👏🏽
What you need now is a conveyor belt to feed the crusher via a hopper 👍🏽
Well he has a conveyor belt he built for his wood cutting machine... That he also built
I have watched every episode with rising attention, simply love it!!!
Maybe a nice addition will be some kind of shaking gutter/chute driven by the shaking of the machine wich feeds the material to the jaws.
Did you tested it with rocks? I really like to know how it handles this.

Very close to being perfect machine given the effort. Kudos!
Отлично мастер!!! 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Well, now I'm going to have watch the rest of the series, I need to build one of these.
I think a crankshaft with more stroke will greatly improve the crushing speed
It would take very little extra stroke to bring it to a halt.
@@UncleKennysPlace it doesn't seem that the engine is struggling. We don't know how much horsepower the crusher really takes.
He could check the throttle plate position while crushing, if the governor pulls it already almost wide open, there is no power left. If it is just half open, he has enough horsepower left...
And if he changes the pulleys to make the crusher rotate slower, that will increase the torque which will allow more stroke.
Qudos, Donn. You aced it again, making the difficult look as easy as boiling water. And, using scrap metal, I might add. Keep it rolling me amigo.

does it crush actual stones and granite or just brick and mortar?
Very nice - consistent size on gravel produced. Well done the build.
You need a pusher blade for the front of your 4 x 4
I was thinking about a tow behind grader... then again both would be neat.
Box grader is the most simple for the UTV and works amazing for that sort of thing. Could do a blade but much harder with the UTV and other farm equipment. Box grader is the way to go
That works amazingly well!

Yes 😁
