im assuming metric tons. that's 2.2 million lbs. just for the record.
it would require at least 3 semi trucks, and a massive trailer with 20 or more axles in the states.

Some places call a ton (metric ton) 2200 lbs.

Something is missing here. You are asking how much horsepower to move 2000000 lbs. You need to go talk to a heavy hauling trucking company. I hope the stone is worth moving!

If this big stone is being move down a hill, you need more brakes than HP!

Sounds like a school homework question.

The simple answer is, "enough".
The question in my mind is, are you moving one stone that weighs 1,000 tons or many stones that total up to 1,000 tons?

you'd probably have to try to rent this. The Crawlers | NASA even a mining truck could only carry less than half 1,000 tons. even then, try to get one of those on a road!!..
