-The Universal Rotor is a structural assembly that holds a shaft with bearings, which is attached to the [[LifeTrac]] [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php/LifeTrac#Quick_Attach_Plate quick attach plate], or which can be detached and used in other applications. The hydraulic motor is interchangeable, and so far, a 32 cu in and a 6 cu in motors have been used. Motors at Factor e Farm have a quick mounting plate with 2 3/4" bolts for hold-down.
-The assembly can be mounted either horizontally or vertically by bolting to a back plate accordingly.
-This is a Universal Rotor which to date has been used as the basis of a [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=2170string trimmer], tree planting auger, [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=1408 lathe], [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=2037 drill press], soil line cutting rotor, and [http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=2091 honey extractor].
-Future work on this involves improved structural integrity, better mounting for LifeTrac, and impreved interchangeability of motors.
