Overview
The Universal Rotor can be fitted with a wide array of toolheads, such as string trimmer, posthole digger, tree planting auger, slurry mixer, and many others.
Details
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. Motors 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.
