ronnietucker Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Some canal dredging action from Scottish Canals this weekend (down at Bowling). https://photos.app.goo.gl/Tgq8CVBI40M5AE1d2 That poor bloke was up and down there for hours on Saturday.

max's son Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Isn't it a weed cutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnietucker Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 No idea, but it certainly chopped up a lot of weeds. Which is good. Me and weeds have had at least one fight... and they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnietucker Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm not gonna lie. I did pee myself a little bit when it turned and looked like it was heading straight for me... https://photos.app.goo.gl/a4RYBF04GNWAVvog2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockedout Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yup, that's a weed cutter, not a dredger. Nice to see one working, the ones we tend to see are all tied up going nowhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howardang Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 One removes silt from the bottom of the canal, one cuts and remove weeds. You have seen a weed cutter. This is a dredger. Good luck if you meet one! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
