ABSTRACT:
A semi-submersible machine moves on rotatable endless belt tracks over diverse surfaces and has two tools on articulated booms for remediation of roadside drainage ditches, retention ponds and other shallow water bodies. One tool is a cutter bar for cutting vegetation at a plurality of angles and positions above or under water, and the other tool is a rotatable pair of opposing clawlike jaws for raking or scouring soil above or under water to restore percolation performance, and to remove loosened vegetative matter without removing soil and water. The vehicle is submersible to a depth of forty inches, and can traverse a slope of thirty degrees while its tilting control platform remains above water and level, thereby maintaining stability of the vehicle.
