The Universal Rotor is a structural assembly that holds a shaft with bearings, which is attached to the [[LifeTrac]] 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.
The assembly can be mounted either horizontally or vertically by bolting to a back plate accordingly.

The Universal Rotor is a structural assembly that holds a shaft with bearings, which is attached to the LifeTrac 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.

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 trimmer, tree planting auger, lathe, drill press, soil line cutting rotor, and extractor.

Future work on this involves improved structural integrity, better mounting for LifeTrac, and impreved interchangeability of motors. Multiauger.jpg
