WaterGator add-on attachments
WaterGator is a modular aquatic cleanup machine designed for lakes, ponds, channels, and other bodies of water. The following optional attachments ensure optimal performance in all conditions.
Main sickle cutter
​
54-in. sickle cutter for aquatic vegetation - an essential part of the WaterGator unless you plan to skim only.
Side sickles
​
A must have if cutting. These vertical sickle cutters allow you to carve straight through weed matts. Comes as set of two, motors included.
Dual paddle wheels​
​
Add to increase thrust and maneuverability. Comes as set of two, we recommend in the front. Note, these outer wheels are more prone to impact and expand machine width to just under 9 ft.
Skimmer booms​
​
These expand the intake width to a 8.5 ft. funnel making skimming easier - good for algae, duckweed, floating debris/vegetation, etc. Can be used with the main sickle on.
