My grandfather called those dung forks said they where for cleaning up the horse dung in the old stable stalls. The manure would stick together and the bedding would fall through and be left behind. I can tell you in matted hay manure mix you need to be a bigger man than me to pickup what they will bite into…

Yes Tom It is, but looking at those forks that wayne has and compare it to the new cheap crap for $60.00 and up from china that they try to force us to buy? I just say NO I will not buy it. they make poor quality and it will break at the welds or fall apart, it is just not worth the monies. I look to see where it is made from. If it is U.S.A. made no problem paying out the monies. China forget it, we Americans sold our selfs down the tube by buying cheap stuff. It is time to change this around and only buy good quality made things again. When I was a kid everything had U.S.A. on it. And you had to make sure it was not (USA Japan)
We the comsumers have all the power if we will start using it again in this country. The older I get the pickier I get.

Here they use these in horse stables, to only remove the crap and leave the sawdust behind, maybe you can search for horse things.

Like Wayne said. Probably best place to.pick one up is at some random farm or estate auction where they give you the option of choice for $3.00-5.00 each from a big pile of pitch forks, silage forks, shovels, rakes, etc…

Around my part of the country we call them cob forks. Don’t know if they were used for the cobs before or after going through the sheller. Father in law is 92 I need to ask him while I still can.

On the dairy farm where I worked we used them for moving corn silage. And yup the search term silage fork works. Too darn expensive though.

Haha, that is the one sport I am not really interested . No noise, nothing mechanical and if you point your finger at a player they start crying. Bether follow Max Verstappen, he is really really fast.
The motor hood is our Brabant flag-province. Just a joke. Too bad I didnt do that before we went to Croatia

i was thinking the same when I bought it. Well, football is ok, only the players are spoiled and hooligans should be thrown in the Nordsee. We should have won in Brasil, after we lost in South Africa. I still see Arjan Robben out running every other player. They really deserved it that year.
