Swordfish Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm sure this weed cutter must be in very good condition, because of the very few times it must be used !! I wish they would use it more on the Yare and Wensum near Norwich. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel falcon Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 We have them come up the drain at work(lincoln) and also on the ouse,they get more work there and pile the weed up on the banks,with intensive farming ,meaning hughe amounts of nitrogen /fertilizers leeching into the rivers it ,s the only way to keep the navigation open to boats .

Guest Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 With less that 50 meaningfull posts I claim qualification. It is a goose scoop/culler. In many areas the local goose population has become un-hygenically large. These machines scim the surface collecting the wild fowl. The blades are set to a certain distance, depending on the fowl that needs to be culled, and the machine does the rest. Those that require the cull are neatly chopped into pet food sized chunks and stored on board ..... the rest slip through the blades back into the river.
