This post is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The vessel is ideal for creating channels or getting rid of excess cattail plants from ponds. This is by far the quickest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent aquatic weeds and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to many 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 uproot cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades propel the machine as well as do the root removal task. Removingthe roots limits re-growth in the area.
Once the roots are removed they remain on the surface of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the pond using an aquatic weed harvester. The harvester takes the vegetation to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site disposal.
Cattails are an aquatic plant that serves a lot functions in wetlands. They provide filtering of pollutants from ponds, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other animals.
However, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a large water weed problems that can be very hard and expensive to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was made.
The Aquamog was invented in the early 80s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family created Aquatics Unlimited in the 70’s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of equipment through the 1980s and 1990’s while with AU. Tom continued the Aquamog line into the new century with the addition of the MarshMog. Tom’s new company Clean Lakes, Inc. (www.cleanlake.com) located in Martinez, CA and Dave’s company DK Environmental (www.dkenvironmental.com) in Lafayette, California have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX 238 was introduced into the Aquamog family.
