The Universal Rotor is a tractor-mounted or stand-alone rotor that can be fitted with a wide array of toolheads, such as string trimmer, posthole digger, tree planting auger, slurry mixer, and many others. It is powered by quick-connect, plug-and-play hydraulic lines coming from the Tractor, Power Cube, or any hydraulic power source.

OSE has already tested the Universal Rotor as a trencher, planting auger, a supersized string trimmer, honey extractor, heavy duty drill press, lathe, and planting line cutter.

Other GVCS machines that are an application of the Universal Rotor include the Dimensional Sawmill, Chipper/Hammermill, Pelletizer, Cement Mixer, Trencher.

Moreover, the Universal Rotor can be used as the Modular Wheel Units for the Tractor, Bulldozer, Microtractor, and Truck.

As such, the Universal Rotor is a key part of the GVCS.

The universal rotor consists essentially of a hydraulic motor, shaft, bearings, and a frame to hold this together - where the frame is also used to attach securely to other structures - such as the tractor base.

To build a device based on the universal rotor - you need the rotor, a structure to attach it to, and a tool head that mounts to the Rotor and provides any function that you need.

As such, we have a flexible way to make a number of different machines (show a flashthrough all the different rotor heads, with the universal rotor highlighted in red) - from vehicle drive, agriculture and construction implement, and even to precision machining equipment.
