We have been working on a sliding broad fork. We will have them ready for sale in the near future. We are making them in 3 widths....20", 16" and 12". Dori was using the 12" model today and she likes it. I prefer the 20" model. They all go 12" deep. Tines are 4" apart and they work in opposition of tines that lay on the surface that are also 4" apart but offset 2" so the ground is broken in 2" slices. The good thing about this model is you do not have to pick it up to insert in the ground each time. Just drag the fork to the rear and lift the handle to near vertical and then step on it driving it into the ground. When tines a in the ground pull the handle toward you and it bring the 2 sets of tines together and breaks up the ground. Then pull fork to the rear and repeat the process. Will have pictures and videos on my website....www.ubgiants.com soon. They are made by the welder that makes my lifting rings. Right now they are very labor intense to make. Hope to cut the construction time down as time goes by. Grow them big...
