The role the WT-34 Aquatic Canal Cleaner plays in the canals of Miami, Florida is an important one. The Weed Tow Boat cruises the canals removing aquatic weeds from the canal system. Without the use of the boats, water flow becomes constricted, creating floods in and around the Miami area.
The innovative porpoise-style hull and low-profile allows it to easily clear low-lying bridges. A John Deere PowerTech 4045TFM marine diesel engine provides the power to drag a 900-pound drag cutter that rips and shreds the canal weeds. Once a swath is cut, the WT-34 retraces the path and scoops up the floating vegetation in a bow-mounted basket.
