Features

Based on the original Miller design, the AquaTractor has been developed as a robust workhorse to do the job for which it is designed without fuss or frills. It makes no fancy claims, assumes no preconceived ideas, it employs no cumbersome paddlewheels or awkward bouyancy tanks. The AquaTractor^® is well proven, tried and tested. Its parent company, Kingcombe Aquacare Ltd (www.kingcombe.com) is the leading aquatic management company in the UK and the AquaTractor has been the subject of continual development as the in-company aquatic work horse. The result is that the AquaTractor^® benefits from over 20 years of demanding commercial use and development.
