Hay Fork - 3 tines - With spring-loaded tines - Ash wood handle - 150 cm
A pitchfork is indispensable in the barn, the livestock shed, or out in the fields. You can use it to move hay and straw, but it also makes it easy to pick up light (garden) debris. The 3 tines of the pitchfork are coated with a protective layer. This keeps the tines sharp longer and prevents rust from forming on the metal. The curvature of the tines creates a natural scoop shape, ensuring that the material you scoop up stays securely in the pitchfork. Thanks to its light weight, this pitchfork is comfortable to use.
Why choose a long-handled hay fork? Opting for a longer handle has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have a greater reach. This helps you both when picking up the material and when lowering it. Do you need to reach for straw or hay from greater heights? Then a long handle is a godsend. A long handle is also recommended for building up a hay or straw stack. There are also disadvantages. A long handle can be less comfortable because it puts pressure on your shoulders. So try not to lean too far forward. Keep in mind that the handle is already long enough to provide a wide reach.
What type of wood should I choose for my farm tools? In addition to metal, wood also plays an important role in the product’s durability. So always choose a type of wood known for its long lifespan. Another important aspect is whether or not there is a wax coating. The handle of this hay fork is made of strong ash wood and is also coated with wax. What does this wax do? It prevents dirt and moisture from penetrating the wood, which helps keep the wood strong. Another advantage? The wood feels comfortable and sits nicely in your hand. This gives you a firm grip while working.
