I got one also, can't wait to use it. It's a beast. I was outside the day after Christmas trying it out. Doesn't work so well in frozen soil.

Ted, it's a big pitchfork lookin thing but much sturdier. It is used to break up the hard pan I believe. I've seen people on here make them.

Meadowcreature is the best (16" is best), I use them commercially, and can do about an acre a day
all other broadforks are just cheap toys that will break
Johnny's will break very quickly
