The Aquamog CCX-238 Creating a New Channel Through a Thick Cattail Zone
This post features the Aquamog CCX in action. The machine is made for creating channels or removing nuisance cattail growth from ponds. This is by far the quickest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to multiple tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to make new open water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 separate cutter blades in the front of the machine can remove cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades move the machine as well as do the root removal work. Getting rid ofthe roots helps to prevent and limit re-growth in the area.
Once the roots are removed they float on top of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the pond using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester transports the plant material to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site land fill.
Cattails are a beneficial plant that have many functions in nature. Cattails provide filtering of pollutants from wetlands, as well as provide nesting for birds and other wildlife.
But, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large aquatic plant problems that can be very hard and costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog ccx was created. For more information visit www.dkenvironmental.com.
