The Stainless Steel rake can be assembled in about 10 minutes and two people can easily deploy and operate from your lake or pond shoreline. Once deployed, the Neptune Rake can harvest up to 2,000 lbs of wet aquatic vegetation and muck in a single pass!
Simple Operation but Big Results.
The off-set tines of the rake force aquatic weeds to zig zag up through the rake and jam, weeds are up rooted and cropped at their base, the rake also gathers sediment and sludge. The winch hauls the loaded rake right up onto dry land, two men then simply tip it forwards to dump the aquatic weeds then set it back on the float for the next haul.
Lay out gather rope to far shore and attach the winch to a suitable tree or ground anchor then set the rake on the float.
The float is then pulled to the area of the pond you want to begin harvesting.
The Neptune Rake is easily deployed by pulling on both gather rope and winch rope, the rake slides off the float and lands on the lake floor.
The winch is then used to haul the rake across the lake floor gathering aquatic weeds, debris and muck and sediment.
The winch hauls the loaded rake right up onto dry land, two men then simply tip it forwards to dump the weed then set it back on the float for the next haul. Mobile pond life have to opportunity to return to the pond unharmed.
