crucher powered by tractor

1. PAIN-POINT DRIVEN OPENING

Managing on-site material reduction is a persistent operational bottleneck. Relying on stationary crushers or off-site processing creates significant logistical and financial strain. Are you facing these common challenges?

• High Mobilization Costs & Downtime: Transporting a dedicated crushing plant to remote or temporary sites is expensive and time-consuming, often costing thousands in freight and setup labor before the first ton is processed.
• Underutilized Prime Movers: Your site’s tractors, essential for material handling, sit idle between tasks while you wait for separate crushing capacity, representing a poor return on capital investment.
• Inefficient Material Flow: Hauling uncrushed run-of-quarry rock or demolition concrete across site for processing burns fuel, increases cycle times, and adds wear to your haul fleet.
• Lack of Operational Flexibility: Fixed crushers cannot follow the face in mining or quarrying applications, and rental mobile plants are often over-specified and costly for smaller-scale or intermittent projects.

What if you could transform your existing tractor from a simple haul unit into a productive crushing center, eliminating redundant equipment and processing material exactly where it falls?

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The crusher powered by tractor is a PTO (Power Take-Off) driven attachment designed to convert the hydraulic and mechanical power of an industrial-grade agricultural or construction tractor into effective on-site crushing capability. This category of equipment is specifically engineered for operations where mobility, capital efficiency, and moderate production volumes are priorities.

Operational Workflow:

1. The unit is mechanically linked to the tractor’s rear PTO shaft and hydraulically connected via its standard quick-attach couplings.
2. The tractor is positioned at the feed pile. The operator uses the tractor’s hydraulics to adjust the crusher’s positioning and feed rate from the cabin.
3. With the PTO engaged, the tractor’s engine drives the crusher’s jaw or impact mechanism, processing fed material directly onto a discharge conveyor or into a neat stockpile beside the machine.

Application Scope & Limitations:

• Ideal For: Secondary crushing of pre-broken materials (≤150mm), on-site aggregate production for farm roads, construction sub-base, landscaping materials, recycling concrete/asphalt blocks from demolition, and small-scale quarry operations.
• Not Designed For: Primary breaking of large virgin rock (>250mm), high-volume stationary plant replacement (typically >150 tph sustained), or processing highly abrasive materials without specific liner options.

3. CORE FEATURES

Direct PTO Drive System | Technical Basis: Mechanically efficient power transfer via reinforced cardan shaft with shear-bolt protection | Operational Benefit: Eliminates the need for a separate diesel engine or generator, leveraging your tractor’s existing power plant | ROI Impact: Reduces initial capital outlay by up to 40% compared to self-powered units and lowers ongoing maintenance to a single engine platform.

Hydraulic Adjustment & Safety | Technical Basis: Tractor-provided hydraulics control crusher setting adjustment, clearing of blockages, and folding of discharge conveyor | Operational Benefit: Your operator makes critical adjustments safely from the cab, minimizing downtime for manual changes and improving site safety | ROI Impact: Field data shows a 15-25% reduction in non-crushing time related to machine adjustment and clearance events.

Mobile On-Site Processing | Technical Basis: Integrated heavy-duty chassis with tow hitch or integral axle system for relocation by the host tractor | Operational Benefit: Enables crushing directly at the source pile—whether at a demolition point, quarry face, or stockpile—dramatically reducing material rehandling | ROI Impact: Cuts haul fleet fuel consumption and cycle times by an average of 30% for load-and-carry operations.

Hardox® Lined Hopper & Wear Parts | Technical Basis: Critical wear zones fabricated from abrasion-resistant steel with standardized jaw/liner profiles | Operational Benefit: Extends service intervals in abrasive environments like concrete recycling and granite processing | ROI Impact: Increases wear part life by approximately 20%, lowering cost-per-ton for consumables based on industry wear data.

Integrated Pre-Screening Grizzly | Technical Basis: Static grizzly section at hopper inlet with adjustable spacing | Operational Benefit: Allows fines and sub-size material to bypass the crushing chamber entirely, increasing effective throughput and reducing unnecessary wear | ROI Impact: Improves system throughput efficiency by directing up to 20% of feed material away from the crushing mechanism where applicable.

6. APPLICATION SCENARIOS

#### Demolition Contractor Recycling Concrete & Brick || Challenge: A regional demolition firm faced prohibitive tipping fees for concrete rubble and lost revenue from not producing recycled aggregate (RCA) for backfill on its own sites. Transporting debris to a fixed plant was uneconomical. || Solution: Implementation of a crusher powered by tractor on their existing 210 HP site service tractor. The unit was moved between demolition sites weekly. || Results: Processed over 12,000 tons of concrete debris in one year. Eliminated $18/ton in tipping fees ($216k saved) and created $9/ton sellable RCA ($108k revenue potential), achieving payback in under 7 months.

#### Quarry Overburden & Secondary Aggregate Production || Challenge: A small limestone quarry needed to clear overburden sandstone efficiently and produce Type-1 sub-base aggregate for internal road maintenance without investing in a second full-time mobile crusher. || Solution: Deploying a crusher powered by tractor using their existing loading/towing tractor during periods when it was not required for shot-rock loading duties. || Results: Produced required road maintenance material on demand without halting primary limestone production. Cleared overburden stockpiles while creating saleable product, adding an estimated $45k in annual incremental revenue with minimal additional cost.

8.FAQ

1.Q What are my host tractor's minimum requirements?
A Your tractor must have sufficient PTO horsepower within our specified range (~180 HP minimum), Category II three-point linkage OR compatible drawbar connection points depending on model type along with sufficient hydraulic flow capacity typically around ~60 L/min minimum pressure compensated flow

2.Q How does this impact my primary equipment utilization rates?
A It increases utilization strategically rather than adding idle time because implementation typically occurs during periods when your prime mover would otherwise be underutilized such as between haul cycles effectively turning downtime into productive time

3.Q What about maintenance complexity compared against standalone machines?
A Maintenance complexity decreases overall because you maintain one prime mover instead managing two separate engines plus drivetrains Consumable tracking becomes simpler focusing primarily upon wear parts within attachment itself

4.Q Can I use one attachment across multiple compatible tractors within my fleet?
A Yes provided each individual machine meets technical specifications outlined above quick-attach systems facilitate changeover within approximately half hour maximizing flexibility across multi-machine operations

5.Q What commercial terms support rapid deployment onto my project sites?
A We offer structured rental-to-own programs alongside traditional purchase orders expedited delivery schedules exist through regional dealer networks along with comprehensive operator training included within purchase price ensuring swift effective implementation
