The Eco-Harvester is an environmentally friendly aquatic plant harvesting machine and the only harvester of its kind that pulls the weeds from their roots instead of cutting them like ALL other aquatic weed harvesters! It is 95% effective at uprooting almost all types of submersed vegetation including milfoil, hydrilla, celery/alligator grass, starry stonewort, water chestnut, and most other aquatic plants prevalent in ponds, lakes, rivers, channels, canals, and waterfront property.
The Eco-Harvester is easy to use and doesn’t require any technical training to operate like most other lake weed harvesters. It is the most eco-friendly and least invasive method for removing lake weeds with minimal lake bottom disruption compared to other harvesters, herbicides & algaecides, dredging, and dewatering. Best of all, it only requires one person to unload, operate, and trailer. In essence it is a one-person operation from start to finish! Starting at $109,499.00.

New This Year
Redesigned Intake Wheel
Our new intake wheel design increases dynamic flow intake — drawing in lake weeds more efficiently — by up to 33%. It also provides easier access for cleaning and removing lake weeds.
3D Sonar-Mapping System
Scans an area and creates a live 3D view so the operator can see underwater structures and lake bottom features in real time. The transducer installs on a custom swing-away mount for easy deployment.
The Eco-Harvester is affordable for lake associations, conservation management, municipalities, and lakeshore-maintenance contractors because it is two-thirds the cost of any other comparable weed harvester/cutter.
The Eco-Harvester was initially designed to help control milfoil, but through testing, we discovered that it pulls almost any type of submersed lake weeds (invasive and native) equally well.
The bigger surprise, however, was that as good as it is at pulling lake weeds, it is an equally effective skimmer of floating weed fragments, algae blooms, duckweed, and other floating debris.
It can float in as little as 12 inches of water making it ideal to clean hard-to-reach areas like in and around boat docks and lifts, piers, and marina boat slips.
Why Choose the Eco-Harvester?
Unlike conventional weed-cutting harvesters that leave behind floating fragments — often causing further weed proliferation — the Eco-Harvester permanently removes aquatic vegetation. Its innovative design minimizes disruption to lake beds, making it the least invasive mechanical harvesting method available.
Maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems
