The Harvesters (weed cutters) are Yellow. They are cutting on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Typically “as a rule of thumb” the harvesters do not cut on Fridays.

The Shore Barges (weed pick up – floaters and shorelines) are Orange. They are out every weekday, weather permitting, picking up floating weeds and weeds along the shoreline.

The Transporters are Blue. They are out every weekday weather permitting, and they are used for unloading Harvesters and Shore barges to transport the weeds across the lake. They hook up to the conveyor which loads the weeds into Big Red (the big red dump truck). The Transporters are also heavily utilized in pile pickups on Mondays and Fridays.

Aquatic Harvester Removes Storm Washed Lake Weeds From Rotorua Lakefront

An aquatic harvester has been working at the Rotorua Lakefront in New Zealand, removing mammoth amounts of lake weed from the shore. The large influx washed up around Sulphur Point and Ohinemutu after strong winds and heavy rain battered the region.

An influx like this was not uncommon as storm conditions could break off weed from off-shore weed beds. It happened about every four to five years.
