Tracked Aluminum Amphibious Weed Harvester Boat

Cut, collect and clear aquatic vegetation from water, wetlands and shorelines with one machine

The Tracked Aluminum Amphibious Weed Harvester is a compact, multipurpose work boat designed for aquatic vegetation control, floating-debris collection and light shoreline maintenance. Its dual mobility system combines wide nylon tracks for land and soft-ground travel with two retractable propellers for water propulsion. This allows the machine to move between shore and water without routine crane lifting under suitable site conditions.

A 5083 aluminum-alloy pontoon chassis, hydraulic front working arm and interchangeable attachments make the machine suitable for shallow lakes, ponds, canals, wetlands, reservoirs and other areas where conventional boats or land machinery have limited access. One trained operator can control travel, steering and attachment functions through the CAN-bus electro-hydraulic control system.

Key Features

Move continuously between land and water

The wide-track undercarriage supports travel on land, soft banks and wet ground, while two liftable propellers provide water propulsion. This amphibious design reduces dependence on lifting equipment when the launch area and slope are suitable for safe machine access.

Work in shallow and confined areas

With a typical draft of approximately 0.2–0.3 m and 360-degree maneuvering capability, the machine can work close to shore and in shallow-water zones that may be difficult for conventional harvesting boats to reach.

Cut vegetation down to 1 m below the surface

The hydraulic boom and forearm allow the operator to adjust the cutter position. The maximum stated cutting depth is 1 m, enabling control of aquatic plants both at and below the water surface.

Change attachments for different jobs

The front working system accepts interchangeable attachments for cutting, raking, digging and pushing or collecting vegetation. This helps one carrier perform multiple maintenance tasks across changing site conditions.

Operate with one trained person

Travel and working functions use electronic and hydraulic controls. The layout is designed for single-operator use, helping reduce labor requirements during routine aquatic vegetation management.

Track location and working routes

The integrated GPS system supports real-time positioning and route-history queries, helping supervisors review machine movement during field operations.

Support low-light operation

Dual front LED work lights improve visibility during early-morning, evening or low-light maintenance work.

Typical Applications

• Aquatic weed cutting in lakes, ponds, canals and reservoirs
• Vegetation removal from shallow water and shoreline zones
• Wetland and marsh maintenance
• Floating vegetation and light floating-debris collection
• Raking and gathering cut plants
• Light underwater-silt or bank-maintenance work with a suitable bucket
• Municipal waterway maintenance
• Golf-course, park and landscape-water management
• Fishpond and aquaculture-water maintenance
• Flood-control channel and drainage-area vegetation management

Technical Specifications

Specifications may vary with the selected attachments and final configuration. Confirm the technical sheet before ordering.

Available Attachments

T-Shaped Hydraulic Cutter

• Approximate dimensions: 2.0 × 1.5 m
• Driven by one hydraulic motor
• Designed for cutting aquatic vegetation
• Cutting depth adjusted through the hydraulic boom and forearm

Folding Grass-Collection Rake/Basket

• Adjustable working span: 2–4 m
• Approximate structural width: 0.7 m
• Designed to gather and move cut vegetation or floating material

Excavator Bucket

• Intended for suitable light digging, sediment-handling and shoreline-maintenance tasks
• Final bucket size and working suitability should be selected according to site conditions

Grass-Pushing Fork

• Intended for pushing, consolidating and transferring gathered vegetation
• Useful for moving cut material toward a collection or unloading point

Attachment availability and combination depend on the ordered configuration. Shut down the engine, isolate the power and secure the attachment pins before changing any attachment.

How the Amphibious System Works

On land and soft ground

Two wide nylon tracks distribute the machine load and provide controlled travel across suitable shorelines, wet ground and work areas. Before climbing or descending a slope, the operator must raise the propellers and adjust the seat position as instructed in the operation manual.

In water

The operator switches to propeller travel and lowers the twin propellers to the working position. During water operation, propulsion and track settings should be adjusted to the actual water-surface and load conditions.

During cutting and collection

The operator positions the front arm, starts the selected hydraulic attachment and adjusts working speed according to vegetation density. Cut material can then be gathered or pushed using the appropriate collection attachment.

Why Choose an Aluminum Amphibious Weed Harvester?

Reduce launch and transfer steps

A machine that can travel on tracks and propel itself in water can reduce repeated handling between shoreline and water, subject to safe access conditions.

Reach areas conventional boats may miss

Shallow draft, track mobility and compact dimensions support work near banks, in wetlands and in other restricted-access locations.

Use one carrier for multiple maintenance tasks

Interchangeable cutting, raking, digging and pushing attachments allow the base machine to adapt to seasonal and project-specific requirements.

Simplify daily operation

Electro-hydraulic controls, electric starting, GPS tracking and front LED lighting support practical field operation by one trained operator.

Support corrosion-conscious construction

The 5083 aluminum-alloy pontoon chassis is selected for marine and water-working environments. Routine cleaning, inspection, lubrication and correct maintenance remain essential for long service life.

Operation and Maintenance Highlights

Before starting

1. Check all fasteners for looseness or missing parts.
2. Confirm sufficient diesel fuel for the planned work.
3. Inspect hydraulic hoses and pipelines for leakage, seepage, damage or aging.
4. Remove obstacles and confirm that the travel and work area is safe.

Recommended operating range

• Land working engine speed: 1,600–2,000 rpm
• Water working engine speed: 1,800–2,100 rpm
• Always adjust attachment speed to vegetation density and actual load

Maintenance schedule from the supplied operation manual

Always follow the final machine-specific manual and the engine manufacturer’s service requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tracked amphibious weed harvester?

A tracked amphibious weed harvester is a work machine that can travel on suitable land or soft ground using tracks and move through water using propellers. It carries hydraulic attachments for cutting, gathering and removing aquatic vegetation.

Can the machine enter the water without a crane?

Under suitable bank, ground and slope conditions, the tracked amphibious design allows the machine to travel between land and water without routine crane lifting. A site-specific safety assessment is required before launch or recovery.

How shallow can the machine work?

The supplied technical data states a typical draft of approximately 0.2–0.3 m. Actual draft and access depend on load, attachment, water conditions and ground bearing capacity.

How deep can it cut aquatic weeds?

The maximum stated cutting depth is 1 m. The operator adjusts the cutter depth through the hydraulic boom and forearm.

Which jobs can the attachments perform?

Available attachment types include a hydraulic aquatic-weed cutter, folding collection rake or basket, excavator bucket and grass-pushing fork. They support cutting, gathering, pushing and suitable light digging or sediment-handling work.

How many operators are required?

The machine is designed for operation by one trained person. Site safety, transport, maintenance and material-handling requirements may require additional personnel.

Can the attachment be changed on site?

Yes. The machine must first be stopped and powered down. The old attachment is removed, the replacement is aligned and connected, and the fixing pins are inserted and locked before restarting.

What information is needed to select a configuration?

Provide the water depth, vegetation type and density, shoreline slope, ground condition, access width, expected working hours and required tasks. Photos or videos of the site are helpful for configuration review.
