This article is about the Aquamog CCX in action. The aquatic rig is great for making channels or removing excess cattail plants from shorelines. This is by far the quickest and most efficient Aquamog when it comes to only emergent aquatic weeds and cattail removal. Where other Aquamogs need to many tools to do the same work, the Aquamog ccx just digs right in to make new cleared water.

The Aquamog CCX with its 2 independent cutter blades in the front of the machine can displace cattails to a depth of three feet. The blades propel the vessel as well as do the root removal task. Getting rid ofthe 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 water body using an aquatic plant harvester. The harvester moves the vegetation to the shore for final placement and/or off site landfill.

Cattails are a native plant that have a lot functions in wetlands. Cattails provide filtering of heavy metals from wetlands, as well as provide homes for birds and other animals.

However, if not properly maintained they can quickly turn into a large aquatic plant issues that can be very difficult and costly to handle. Thus the Aquamog CCX was made.

The Aquamog equipment line was invented in the early 80s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded AU in the 1970’s. Both Tom and Dave McNabb created the Aquamog brand and line of machinery throughout the 1980s 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 was introduced into the Aquamog family.
