Announcing our new Truxor DM 5000 Amphibious Vehicle!
Princeton Hydro, LLC is excited about our newest amphibious vehicle: the Truxor DM 5000. The size of a large pickup truck, it is relatively light, produces very low ground pressure and is highly maneuverable. The Truxor doesn't require a boat ramp or even a stabilized launch area, enabling it easy access and deployment into just about any size pond and giving it big advantages over larger, conventional weed harvesters and hydro-rakes. The major benefit of the Truxor is that it represents a non-pesticide approach for the control of invasive weed and problematic algae growth. Able to operate in water and on land, and maneuver in small waterbodies, it can quickly address major infestations without the potential side effects of large-scale treatments (specifically fish kills) and provide weed and algae control without the delay of permits.
