I need to move 1000 tons weight stone about 300 km. And I want to know how much horse power(vehicle) needed to pull 1000 tons weight trailer? And also need to calculate it?

I would really like to see some pictures of what you want to move.
Also the terrain you plan to move it across.

You can move 1000 tons with a motorcycle and a bucket.

But if you want to move it all at once, you need a ship or a train.

Thankfully, it weighs less than the Great Pyramid at Giza...

It would be difficult driving something like that through town with all the overhead street lights, stop lights & signs getting in the weigh... (see what I did there)

A little fun calculations with the pocket ref book indicates that this rock would be equivalent to a 50 x 15 x 15 mass, roughly four full size shipping containers bunched together.
It wouldn't take all that much power with the right gearing and traction, but getting it on a suitable trailer is a different matter.

I think the OP is gone, maybe looking for an anti gravity device:)

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!

Yes, sir. I will contact with these companies and I want to know how to calculate the requirements approximately.

The trucks are the easy part. Do you have any idea what a trailer to haul 1000 tons looks like? A move like that will cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
