That�s my new toy, a nice broadfork. As I found it pretty expensive to buy a broadfork from overseas and to pay for shipping and then to pay customs for both the broadfork and for shipping, I�m extremely happy I have found someone in Germany who made this nice broadfork. The tines are actually blades (5 mm thick steel) 44 cm long, and with a spacing of 12 cm the width of the six tines amounts to 60 cm and the width of the fork is 73 cm. The fork comes without handles, you simply have to buy two shovel handles and mount them...and there you are ready to fork the patch. For those interested in such a nice tool (especially for German growers and perhaps other European growers, who might also find it a bit expensive to get a broadfork from overseas), send me an email and I will forward your request to the guy who makes those forks and who will then get in touch with you and send you a quote.
