I just can't justify putting out $2500 for a pond hippo. Looks like a gigantic hippo from Hungry Hungry Hippo game. Too limited of application for that outlay. If I spending that kind of money I'm buying a product like a lake mower that can be used on large commercial jobs and mow just aobut anything. If I have a pond that small with watermeal or duckweed I'm skimming and spraying. Take a lifetime of jobs to begin to recover that pond hippo investment.
