Testing CHEAPEST $5,000 Chinese ROCK CRUSHER (on Alibaba)

I know this sounds crazy, but I'm a 57 year old woman who is obsessed with gravel. It's the perfect ground cover for us living in the country. And i love hearing it crunch under my feet or under cars. Great drainage, soil protection and decent weed barrier. My husband thinks I'm a little weird about this, but i TOTALLY understand your happiness with the new crusher. You, my friend, can now actually MAKE gravel. You're my hero!

The rocks get pitched out because you are putting rocks in one at a time. It is designed to have the hopper filled all the time and the rocks that are getting pinched are held in by the weight of the rocks on top of them.

Cover that water entrance, or you'll likely fill it with rock dust. Also, those crush plates can be fixed up by hardface welding them as they wear. Don't let em get too worn out.

The little lever is your decompression Kevin it holds one of the valves open so u can spin up the motor easier it will save your starter

I bought nearly the exact same a few years ago, there is an old quarry on my place and it's a great source of FREE building material and now gravel !

So you will find certain material is harder hence some of those rocks don’t crack well. It’s called a splash cooled diesel. Essentially the cylinder is just splashed with water. Very handy. You can use literally any water or you can use proper coolant. The amount of time you get from the plates will vary depending on the material being used. Also. Having used similar products I recommend going over everything after an hour or two of use. Possibly grinding out any cracked welds and re welding. Check bolts etc.

Put it on a hill (or blocks). Then put a corrugated chute under it so the fines and rocks fall separately. Cut slits in the bottom corrugated for a fines outlet into a diverter. You can screen the gravels from there or not. It probably compresses better with some variety. Wish I had one of those on my WV property!

NICE!! addition to the Off-Grid property Kevin. That looks like A LOT of fun filling n cruching all that variety of product.. Cool for sure

pretty cool Kevin. I can see lots of places this would be handy thats for sure. good way to recycle the patio blocks.

Sweet toy! This should be a big help with the stream install. I look forward to your many gravel purposes down the road! Stay safe.

Nothing else says youtube at 1am like a canadian playing with a rock crusher LOL

I'm in Eastern Manitoba and many people in this area buy that 'blue rock' better known as black granite and pay a pretty good buck for it. Round rock is always harder to crush and granite being the hardest and you being in Northern Ontario will likely have lots of it around. It's also highly abrasive and will wear out your wear pads in the crusher a lot faster than concrete or limestone.

I laughed so hard when you said "Im like a kid at Christmas, i don't know why I wanted a rock crusher & i guess im gravel independent now". At 1st i didn't think it was doing anything until you showed the ground shot while using it the 1st time. By the end of the video I was surely impressed with it.

That’s really impressive for something off alibaba. Was not expecting it to be as effective as it is with how it looks, but damn that broke down the rocks like a champ

Ha! As soon as the video started and you couldn't wipe the smile off your face.....you definitely ARE the kid in the candy store! I realized I was smiling too! You're contagious.

I’ve never seen someone so happy about gravel, but I get it. ☺️

The build quality looks a little janky, but the results look good. I'm sure you'll end up beefing up the trailer. Gravel self-reliance. Another box ticked! I love this channel.

Really enjoyed the video have been waiting for the rock crusher content. Now that im 45 i find myself liking things i never thought I would lol. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts

I'd probably add a small hopper to the top of the machine for those harder rocks. If you have a load of rocks piled up in the chute then it will help to push them through without them getting yeeted into orbit! There is also a big metal plate on the underside of the crusher jaws, held in place likely with a big spring. If the crusher can't handle a rock or tries to jam, the metal plate will fall out of place to protect from those flywheels from destroying everything.

You are the best!! I learn so much from you. Thank you! This was so much fun to watch
