5.0 out of 5 stars The best fork for mulch, garden and heavy leaf litter, too, March 5, 2009

The 10 tines of this heavy-duty fork make all the difference in stable cleaning. Other pitch forks have too much space between the tines to be effective and the plastic 'stable forks' don't have the strength to deal with muddy messes.

But it's not just useful around the barn--there is nothing better for digging and laying mulch and if you are trying to remove old, packed leaf litter, you know that a normal leaf rake doesn't cut it. This fork gets under the layers and lifts it out with ease. It does a great job adding peat and other such products to garden soil also.

I'm on my second one after 20 years of hard work and expect 20 years out of this one. Highly recommended for many jobs around the yard and farm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Needed sharpening, but a great fork overall., October 10, 2011

Comparing this to the ancient pitchforks from my father's boyhood farm which I'm still using, the tines aren't as sharp and the handle is thicker. No problem with the tines, I simply sharpened them, and the handle may be thicker to make it stronger since the extra tines encourage its use on tougher jobs (my old forks have fewer tines which is why I bought this one). Most people probably wouldn't even notice the difference but I'm petite and my small hands prefer skinnier handles. This fork seems to be very well made and I'm sure it will outlive me by many decades.

All these 10 tine manure forks break where the top of the tines meet the handle, is my experience with 5 or 6 of these. This one is welded a little stronger and the handle is very substantial, so hopefully it will last longer. So far so good!
