The Aquamog CCX-238 in Action Cutting a New Channel Through a Thick Cattail Zone
This post features the Aquamog CCX in action. The machine is great for making channels or removing excess cattail growth from wetlands. This is by far the fastest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to just emergent vegetation and cattail control. Where other Aquamogs need to many attachments to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to create new open water.
The Aquamog CCX with its 2 separate cutter blades in the front of the machine can displace cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades move the vessel as well as do the root removal work. 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 collected and removed from the water body using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester moves the vegetation to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site landfill.
Cattails are a native plant that have many functions in wetlands. They provide filtering of heavy metals 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 aquatic plant problems that can be very difficult and expensive to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was created.
The Aquamog was invented in the early 1980′s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded AU in the 1970. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of equipment throughout the 1980s 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-238 was introduced into the Aquamog family.
