Vegetation Dredging

All Mud Cat D-Series Dredge Models have the optional Razor Tooth WeedMaster(R) cutterhead available which converts the dredge to a high-powered hydraulic vegetation cutting system. The dredge will cut and pump the vegetation thousands of feet away through a closed pipeline eliminating the need to rehandle with barges and excavators significantly reducing harvesting costs. The WeedMaster can handle:

  • Cattails
  • Reeds
  • Hyacinths
  • Milfoil
  • Hydrilla
  • And more…

The WeedMaster cutterhead turns all Mud Cat D-Series dredge models into a value-added dual function dredging system available exclusively from Mud Cat.

Mud Cat Dredges used in Weed Harvesting Applications

An 8 inch discharge Mud Cat MC 115D with patented WeedMaster cutterhead tears through a dense wall of cattails removing the 6 ft.+ tall stocks as well as the mud and root system.

A Mud Cat cuts a path through dense mixed vegetation and removes the mud and roots at the same time. The WeedMaster is the only system in the world that can cut and pump vegetation.
