Powerful Performance in a Compact Aquatic Harvester

Operating in as little as 4 inches of water, it effortlessly clears tight spaces around piers, boat lifts, docks and shallow shorelines where larger harvesters simply can’t reach.
The front conveyor collects weeds and floating debris from the water. A second sled-type storage bunk stores harvested material that can be easily pulled to a desired area for off-loading when full.

FAQs
WaterBeetle FAQs
WaterBeetle is a one-of-a-kind modular aquatic cleanup machine designed for harvesting aquatic weeds, algae and floating debris of all kinds in ponds, lake shores, channels and more.
Is the WaterBeetle suitable for small residential ponds?
Yes. Measuring 5 feet wide by 7 feet long and weighing approximately 230 pounds, the WaterBeetle is explicitly engineered for residential lakefronts, private ponds and small waterways. It operates in water depths as little as 4 inches.
What types of aquatic vegetation can the WaterBeetle clean up?
It excels at harvesting floating algae blooms, duckweed, prop-chopped weed fragments, pondweed and light submerged aquatic vegetation when paired with the optional sickle-cutter.
How does the WaterBeetle compare to the larger WaterBug model?
The WaterBeetle is the most affordable, entry-level personal harvester designed for lighter vegetation and shallow ponds. Compared to the larger WaterBug (28-inch depth cut, larger payload and larger frame), the WaterBeetle provides maximum maneuverability, lower cost and simpler handling for individual property owners.
Does the WaterBeetle require a live camera system?
No. Because the WaterBeetle is designed for visual shoreline and small-pond operations within line-of-sight range, you can control every movement directly from shore without complex camera gear.
How is the machine transported and launched?
Every unit includes an integrated low-speed trailer frame with a 2-inch ball hitch coupler. Hook it up to your garden tractor, quad or UTV, back it into the water (no formal boat launch required) and start harvesting immediately.
What warranty does it have?
The WaterBeetle is backed by a one-year warranty.
How much does the WaterBeetle cost?
The WaterBeetle starts at $7,999.00. Call 877-224-4899 for more information and pricing.
