Attachments

The following add-on options are also available. Contact us for pricing and details.
Sickle Bar
This optional add-on is specifically designed to cut lake weeds to a depth of 24-inch with remote-control, but can be set to a maximum depth of 28-inches manually. The sickle cutter attachment is easy to remove and can quickly be added back on when cutting rooted weeds.
Skimmer Booms
The optional skimmer boom extensions make removing floating algae as simple as driving forward. The floating booms act as a funnel, feeding surface debris onto the harvesting bed.
Net Extensions
Launch and Removal
WaterBug is designed to be operated by a single person.
The WaterBug trailer can easily be hooked up to a garden tractor or ATV/UTV and backed into the water. A handle bar modification is also included so the machine can be wheeled into the water by hand.
Once removed from the water, WaterBug can collapse, making for easy transportation and storage.
