This post features the Aquamog CCX in action. The machine is made for creating channels or removing unwanted cattail growth from ponds. This is by far the fastest and most effective Aquamog when it comes to just emergent aquatic weeds and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to multiple tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just gets after it to create new open water.

The Aquamog CCX with its two independent cutter blades in the front of the machine can remove cattails to a depth of 3 feet. The blades move the vessel as well as do the root removal job. Getting rid ofthe roots can cut down on re-growth in the area.

When 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 shore for final placement and/or off site landfill.

Cattails are an aquatic plant that serves alot purposes in wetlands. They provide filtering of heavy metals from wetlands, as well as provide nesting 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 costly to handle. That is why the Aquamog CCX was built.

The Aquamog was developed in the early 1980s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family formed Aquatics Unlimited in the 1970s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb developed the Aquamog name and line of equipment through out the 1980′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, California 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 was welcomed into into the “Mog” line.
