​
Introducing the SM 501 Suction Weed Harvester, the only machine on the market that combines suction weed harvesting, dredging, and skimming in one powerful unit. Engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional lake weed harvesters, it starts at less than half the cost of comparable dredgers, making it an economical choice for effective aquatic maintenance.
Equipped with a multi-function head, the
SM 501 can easily draw surface algae, duckweed, and floating weeds, while also suction harvesting submerged weeds that are shredded and discharged to the shoreline. Designed for single-person operation, its intuitive controls allow for effortless maneuvering around piers, boat lifts, and shorelines, ensuring a seamless experience in maintaining your water bodies.
Designed to be operated by one person, its intuitive controls allow the SM 501 Suction Weed Harvester to maneuver effortlessly around piers, boat lifts, and shore lines. Because of this, you can operate in shallow water environments in as little as 10” of water and the rear anchor pipes create a pivot point for systematic dredging down to 10’ water depths.
Algae, duckweed, lake weeds, and muck are pumped directly to shore or dump trailer where they can be used as natural fertilizer or pumped to a silt fence containment area to be distributed later. This efficiency in lake weed and muck harvesting translates directly into improved water quality! Excess nutrients on lake and pond beds compounded by fertilization of lakeshore properties can be effectively managed by applying harvested lake nutrients directly to landscapes addressing environmental concerns while improving your lake and pond health.
Simple and easy to operate, the SM 501 Suction Weed Harvester is fabricated from aluminum which has a 6’ wide x 8’ long floating platform equipped with a 40 hp gas engine. The downrigger can reach down to 10’ water depth and it weighs only 1,540 lbs. Pricing includes the flatbed transport trailer and we use internationally sourced components to ensure that replacement parts are readily available minimizing downtime and costly repair
​
Its portable design combined with its 3 in 1 functionality make it the ideal solution for accessing and maintaining retention and golf course ponds, marinas, lake coves, ponds, channels, canals, and a plethora of other tasks that other harvesters, dredgers, and excavators simply cannot access!
The SM 401 Suction Weed Harvester is portable and lightweight design is like launching a small pontoon boat and features a high-torque suction boom and shredder that can pass debris up to 4”, so you can clear away thick and dense lake weeds and muck without damage or clogging. These features combined with the attractive price make it perfect for lake shore maintenance contractors, municipalities, conservation management, and lake associations alike.
