I rock raked last weekend. Then pulled the rocks over by the driveway. I have hundreds of 1-2 inch thick flat stones. Most pieces are no more than 12"x 12" x 2" If I could break this stuff down, say 1-2 inch pieces. I could use it for the driveway. I was thinking of a V-shaped trough with some sort of turning blades or a log splitter arangement Any ideas, besides a sledge hammer, my rock source is unlimited. I have a Ford 2N with a PTO :rolleyes:

A jaw crusher would be the weapon of choice.
I saw my neighbor hired one, it could only take brick sized pieces.
This is some Chinese manufacturer website that has an animated GIF picture of how it works:

Jaw Crusher|Stone Crusher|Rock Crusher - Liming Heavy Industry

For some more pics, try Google image search and search for jaw crusher.
