Rock Crusher

[Anonymous-0]

I found a New Holland rock crusher on a farm near me. It is on steel wheels with a wood frame and is falling apart.It is belt powered. Does anyone know anything about such a beast?

I don't know about that one but have been a crusher operator and done some repair. I think something like that would just have deposited the stone on the road under it and moved along. Wonder if it ate some stonewalls in the area? Would be a good working display at a show. Have you been to the Hudson-Mohawk gas up in Schoharie? They have a stationary unit and at one time ran it with a crossmotor Case. Nice show-this year June 11-12 & 18-19. I'm in NY Catskill Mts Good Luck Steve

That would be great to turn all my rockpiles into something useful.

Google "Western Minnesota Steam Threshers" at Rollag, MN. Their site may show their setup...operating steam shovel and a portable rock crusher.

I think that was one of the products that got New Holland Machine Company started. A few have survived around here.

I was told they hauled it down to the creek and ran some boulders thru it

missed out on the show, darn

Here is another possible lead....I believe they had one of these crushers at their 2007 show.

Not sure on a New Holland but I have had some experience with a rock crusher. I operated one at the old Douglas County Historical Steam and Gas Festival in Arcola, IL. It was belt drive and set on a small steel frame with steel wheels. The thing weighed a ton and was a serious piece of equipment. You would run it at about half throttle and would put two to three inch boulders in the top and it would send a pulverized dust out the bottom. This one was used to pulverize limestone to agriculture use. They are fun to operate...that is for about 10 minutes or so.
