A self-propelled rock crushing machine which utilizes the drive unit to a conventional excavator of the type normally found in the construction industry. Each of the components on the self-propelled rock crushing machine is operated by a hydraulic motor and is removably secured to its vehicular frame. The components include a hopper that stores material to be crushed, an apron feeder that collects material from the hopper and carries the material toward the crushing device, a grizzly separator that separates undersize material from the larger material to be crushed, a crushing device, and a discharge conveyor that receives crushed material and discharges the same from its outer end. A water tank and pump also are provided for preparing properly moisturized crushed material which is suited for backfill operations. Because the discharge conveyor is placed immediately below the vehicular frame, the rock crushing machine has a ground clearance of approximately seventeen inches, which enables it to crush while moving over rugged construction terrain.
