Hello,
I harvest lake weeds and I'm looking for an easier way to remove the aquatic weeds from the water after they are cut.
A couple of quick ideas were to use an older pontoon as a way to transport the weeds out of the lake.
1) Thought about some type of hydrolic lift table that could be lowered down into the water and then the weeds could be pushed on the platform (With no manual lifting on my part).
2) I would like to be able to then lift the platform (Some type of mesh platform/table) only about a foot out of the water until they have lost all their water weight (A few minutes).
3) Then I would like to be able to have the platform lift up and either tip into the boat or be able to move into the boat a ways until I can have it then dump the load of lake weeds.
4) I would also like to be able to control all lift and dump functions from the water as I am usually standing in about 4 - 6 feet of water and wouldn't want to get in and out of the boat several times during the harvesting process.
I think I may have a good idea, but don't have the knowledge to move any further with this project. Any help would be greatly appreciated by both my Son & Myself.
Thanks - LakeTetonka
