The Aquamog CCX-238 Cutting a New Channel Through a Dense Cattail Area
This press release is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is made for making channels or getting rid of excess cattail plants from shorelines. This is by far the quickest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent aquatic plants and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to separate tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to make new cleared water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent cutter blades in the front of the barge can uproot cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades move the machine as well as do the root removal task. Getting rid ofthe roots helps to prevent and limit re-growth in the area.
After the roots are removed they remain on the surface of the water and are than easily picked up and removed from the lake using an aquatic weed harvester. The harvester moves the plant material to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site dump.
Cattails are a good plant that serves a lot purposes in lakes. They provide filtering of pollutants from the water, as well as provide habitat and shelter for birds and other wildlife.
However, if not properly controlled they can quickly turn into a huge water plant issues that can be very hard and expensive to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was created.
The Aquamog equipment line was invented in the early 1980’s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded AU in the 1970s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of equipment throughout the 80s and 1990s 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, California 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 was introduced into the “Mog” family.
