ABSTRACT:
A lake rake (1) or other aquatic tool that is drag-line operated in a body of water (4) between a first earth-anchored vehicle (9) with a motorized winch (8) at a distal position (15) and a second earth-anchored vehicle (11) with a motorized winch (10) and a loading means (12, 13) at a proximal shore (16) of the body of water. The lake rake or other aquatic tool is pulled with a positioning line (5) by the winch on the first earth-anchored vehicle against selective braking resistance of a drag line (6) operated by the winch on the second earth-anchored vehicle to position the lake rake or other aquatic tool in a raised position relative to the body of water at a desired position proximate the first earth-anchored vehicle. There the lake rake or other aquatic tool is dropped to a bottom (17) of the body of water by release of tension between the two winches. The lake rake or other aquatic tool is then winched to the proximal shore of the body of water and aquatic plants (7) gathered thereby are removed to a desired site (20) by the second earth-anchored vehicle.
