Boat-Mounted Water Weed Cutter CROPS Weed Control 22-4-7 A hydraulic powered sickle cutter, shaped like an inverted æT' and fitted to the front of a 14 ft. aluminium boat, cuts weeds growing on the bottom, sides and banks of ponds. The boat is powered by a 2 cyl. diesel driving a jet, so there's no prop to become tangled.
The cutter height off the floor of the pond can be adjusted and the whole cutter turns 90 degrees to do banks. When traveling, the cutter tilts back so it is out of the water, al-lowing the boat to perform normally. Power comes from a hydraulic pump which powers both the motor which drives the blades (they are mechanically linked at the base) and also the cylinder that tips the cutter bar.
Weed growth, which can be accelerated by excess phosphates and other nutrients, can rob a pond of the oxygen needed to support life.
