The Aquamog CCX-238 Creating a New Channel Through a Thick Cattail Zone
This article is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is ideal for making channels or removing excess cattail growth from wetlands. This is by far the quickest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail control. 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 two independent cutter blades in the front of the barge can remove cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal job. Getting rid ofthe roots can cut down on re-growth in the area.
After the roots are removed they float on top of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the lake using an aquatic weed 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 serves many purposes in ponds. Cattails provide filtering of pollutants from ponds, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other wildlife.
But, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a huge aquatic weed problems that can be very difficult and expensive to handle. That is why the Aquamog ccx was created. For more info visit www.dkenvironmental.com.
