WaterBug | Remote Controlled Lake & Pond Weed Harvester

The Waterbug 3.0 is a remote controlled aquatic lake weed harvester featuring a harvesting camera that shows what the Waterbug sees on the remote viewing screen.  It is designed for managing aquatic vegetation and floating debris in lakefronts, ponds, and other small bodies of water. 

It is 5.4’ wide by 11’ 9” long but weighs only 375 lbs. and boasts a storage bunk capacity of 600 lbs. which is double the capacity over the 2.0 model! This makes it easy for one person to use as it fits on a compact trailer that can be pulled behind a 4-wheeler or garden tractor. 

It floats in as little as 4” of water and can cut and skim 34” wide, is adjustable to 15-16” water depth by remote control (can be set to a 24" depth manually), and features long-lasting batteries that can operate 5 hours on a single charge. The Waterbug has a remote sight range of 1,000 feet making it an ideal solution for individual pond owners and golf courses in need of an effective pond weed and algae solution!
