This post is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is great for making channels or getting rid of unwanted cattail growth from lakes. This is by far the quickest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to only emergent aquatic weeds 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 barge can uproot cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades move the vessel as well as do the root removal job. Getting rid ofthe roots helps to prevent and limit 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 pond using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester takes the vegetation to the shoreline for final placement and/or off site dump.

Cattails are a beneficial plant that have many purposes in lakes. They provide filtering of nutrients and some heavy metals from wetlands, as well as provide homes for birds and other wildlife.

But, if not properly maintained they can quickly turn into a huge water plant problems that can be very difficult and expensive to handle. Thus the Aquamog CCX was invented.

The Aquamog equipment line was invented in the early 1980s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family started AU in the 1970′s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb developed the Aquamog brand and line of machinery through out the 80′s and 90s while with Aquatics Umlimited. 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, CA have been working together on the Aquamog CCX project for about 10 years and in February 2009 the Aquamog CCX-238 was welcomed into into the “Mog” line.
