Korean buyers encountering the range for the first time sometimes treat the four models as a size progression \u2014 &#8220;small, medium, large, and specialist&#8221; \u2014 but this framing leads to incorrect choices. The four models are not a size ladder; they are four purpose-built machines for four distinct operational categories. Choosing the correct THOR requires understanding what makes each model distinct \u2014 not just comparing horsepower and working width.<\/p>\n<p>This guide presents all four models together, explains the single most important characteristic that distinguishes each one, and provides a practical decision framework built around Korean applications, terrain types, and tractor configurations.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \u2550\u2550\u2550 ALL FOUR MODELS AT A GLANCE \u2550\u2550\u2550 --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: clamp(20px,2.8vw+10px,30px);

The 40 cm maximum stone size means it handles boulders that the THOR 2.4&#8217;s 30 cm limit cannot address. The Drawbar Kit provides the same slope management capability as the THOR 2.4&#8217;s Kit Drawbar \u2014 but the THOR 3.0&#8217;s larger 2,800 Kg weight and 230 HP tractor requirement may make it inappropriate for some narrower highland terrace operations where the THOR 2.4 is the better fit despite the lower per-pass throughput.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 10px 0 0 0; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 8px;\"><span style=\"background: #f0f3ff; border: 1px solid #c0c8f0; padding: 3px 10px; border-radius: 20px; font-size: clamp(11px,1.1vw+7px,12px); color: #1a3a6e;\">\ub300\uaddc\ubaa8 \ub18d\uc9c0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background: #f0f3ff; border: 1px solid #c0c8f0; padding: 3px 10px; border-radius: 20px; font-size: clamp(11px,1.1vw+7px,12px); color: #1a3a6e;\">\ud1a0\uc9c0 \uac1c\ubc1c<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background: #f0f3ff; border: 1px solid #c0c8f0; padding: 3px 10px; border-radius: 20px; font-size: clamp(11px,1.1vw+7px,12px); color: #1a3a6e;\">\ub300\ud615 \ub18d\ub85c<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background: #f0f3ff; border: 1px solid #c0c8f0; padding: 3px 10px; border-radius: 20px; font-size: clamp(11px,1.1vw+7px,12px); color: #1a3a6e;\">\ud3c9\ud0c4\uc9c0 \ub300\uba74\uc801<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- THOR FLM --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-left: 6px solid #2d5f2d; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; margin-bottom: 14px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto; width: clamp(80px,20%,140px); height: auto; border-radius: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/rock-crusher-tractor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rock-Crusher-THOR-FLM-1.webp\" alt=\"THOR FLM stone crusher \u2014 CVT mandatory, forestry silviculture variant, stump and rock processing\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #2d5f2d; font-size: clamp(18px,2.2vw+10px,24px); margin: 0 0 4px 0;\">\u0925\u094b\u0930 \u092b\u093f\u0932\u094d\u092e<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #888; font-size: clamp(12px,1.2vw+7px,13px); margin: 0 0 8px 0;\">CVT mandatory \u00b7 1000 RPM \u00b7 Forestry rotor \u00b7 Stump + rock<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic; color: #555; font-size: clamp(13px,1.4vw+8px,15px); margin: 0; border-left: 3px solid #2d5f2d; padding-left: 10px;\">The one thing that makes it different: <strong>it processes stumps and root systems<\/strong> that the agricultural THOR models cannot handle reliably, because it requires CVT operation at near-zero forward speed to manage stump engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #555; font-size: clamp(12px,1.3vw+8px,14px);\">The THOR FLM is not a stronger version of the THOR 2.4 \u2014 it is a purpose-built silviculture and forestry machine with a modified rotor configuration for processing mixed stump, root network, and surface rock in forestry clearing contexts. CVT tractor operation is mandatory: the very low forward speed (0.2\u20130.5 km\/h at stump approach) that protects the rotor and transmission from shock loading during dense material engagement cannot be achieved with a conventional-transmission tractor.

The THOR FLM&#8217;s specific advantage (CVT slow-speed stump processing) is only needed when a significant proportion of your \uc784\ub3c4 work involves processing timber stumps and root networks as part of the cleared alignment. Operators who primarily do \uc784\ub3c4 track clearing (rock + vegetation only, no significant stumping) typically find the THOR 2.4 adequate for both farm and \uc784\ub3c4 applications.

This distinction matters operationally: the THOR ST&#8217;s Kennametal RK4 rotor bits are designed for high-volume milling of compacted road base material at controlled 0\u2013200 mm depth, incorporating water and binder as they mill. They are not designed for the high-impact shock loading of individual granite boulder crushing that the agricultural THOR 2.4 handles routinely. If a rural road alignment contains large surface boulders (above 10\u201315 cm) before the THOR ST treatment, a pre-treatment THOR 2.4 pass is required to fracture those boulders to below the THOR ST&#8217;s milling specification before the THOR ST pass.
