FedEx had delivered my broadfork to another persons home and when I contacted the company they were friendly and had another shipped right away. Either way, the broadfork is great quality. All around pleased. I don’t know who Jimmy was but he has great customer service.

This product is heavy duty! It’s still a workout to till the garden or weedy flower beds but it gets the roots out.

We have an extensive garden. It’s a lot of work. My arms are not as strong as they used to be. We do not like to use a tiller in our soil. This was every bit what it claimed to be. Very sturdy. I was able to dig up and loosen the soil of a 25 X 15 foot area of hard soil in 15 minutes. So easy. My new favorite gardening soil. I’m wonder why I didn’t know about this sooner.

This Broad Fork works scraped, it’s a bit heavy, but needed for the job it does. Would definitely recommend this product.

We've been wanting a good broad fork for a long time. We finally decided to try this one because it appeared to be nice and strong. I'm so glad we did. It's a little heavy, but it's also very sturdy, and works well. I'm sure this will last for years to come. It's worth every penny. I highly recomend.

I’ve been using this on clay heavy glacial till to remove tall grass and blackberries. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze and so satisfying. It’s definitely a good full body workout, but I chose this manual tool for that reason.

This thing is amazing. Easy to assemble, though may need to be tightened after using for first time. Not too heavy, but very sturdy. The blades go in the ground easily and lifting them out is just as easy. So excited to see the improvement in my produce this year!

I bought this after a local farmer suggested one for our 70x40 rural garden. I cannot keep up with the weeds anymore. I bought one late winter and put it together excitedly. Later I attended a few workshops that heavily promote no till and decided not to use it. I messaged the company and asked if I was able to return it, unused. The company promptly emailed back and issued a full refund, telling me to keep the broad fork and try it. Well, I tried it yesterday in a bed where I will be planting carrots (prior to mulching and implementing no-till). I was so shocked and surprised at how easy it was. My husband stopped what he was doing to watch me pull up weeds/roots 1.5- 2 ft in length, full root intact. How satisfying!!! It made one of the worst parts of gardening enjoyable. Heavy duty and sharp, making it easy to use (I'm 5'4" so manageable for women). What a great product! I didn't want to come inside for supper.

It works very well, I thought it would be wider though. If you’re a smaller person (I’m 5’11) this would be perfect.

Set up - I just purchased a house that has 312 linear feet of raised beds that have a mix of clay, blackberry vines/roots, tree roots, rocks, and other items that were covered by landscape fabric and 6 inches of mulch for . . . a long time. Very compacted, no life in it. As an avid gardener I was dreading the work to get the soil ready for planting. I'm 5'2", late 50s, female, not overly athletic but active, so not real strong and can't spend a lot of time with a shovel before my back and knees are done. This broadfork was amazing. It felt heavy but once it was on the soil I didn't have to lift it again, just stand on it, rock it, then pull it back a few inches and repeat. It took several days, some days I was able to do 10 ft, some days 50 ft, but it's done. It went through tree roots and blackberry roots easily, pulled up rocks and weeds that were popping up with just a little adjustment to go behind the rocks. Very little effort. The clay was a little slower but not a problem. Now I need to try it in a grassy area to set my hoophouse. This is well worth the money, just remember to switch legs when pushing it into the ground. The first day I was sore in my right hip because I only used my right foot. After that I switched back and forth and had no issues. Happy Growing!

I was unaware this tool even existed until I saw it used on a YouTube video.After reading all the reviews I decided to give it a try. It was shipped promptly and arrived ahead of the projected delivery date.First of all, it's not a mini-bulldozer and it's not unbreakable. Using enough force against relatively immovable objects (roots and boulders), the handles can be broken as well as the tines being separated from the bar, and even the bar broken as pictures have shown. The solution to this is simple. If you encounter significant resistance,... stop. Use another tool. Dig up the obstacle. Pry it out with a more appropriate tool. If a root, cut it with a saw or axe.I'm using mine to clear a patch of ground for a garden. It does a remarkable job of loosening soil to the depth of the tines. The only other tool that will do this to this depth that I'm familiar with is a bottom plow pulled behind a farm tractor. The advantage of this tool over a bottom plow is that it doesn't create a hard "pan" that bottom plows can create. I suspect that mechanical tilling with gang tillers or rototillers can create a pan at their maximum depth. The "pan" I'm referring to is a hard layer of soil that can be created by soil compaction from using heavy tools repeatedly at a given depth, which interferes with water percolating below that depth.This has helped me clear patches of lariope, weeds, grass, vine roots and tree seedlings.Good ancillary tools are a turning fork, a potato fork, a broad rake and sharp transplanting shovels (to cut roots).On the down side for this particular product, I've found it difficult to keep the handles from working loose. This may not detract from the tool's function, but it does cause unnecessary movement and effort by the user,... and, frankly, it's irritating. Trying to tighten the handle bolts can cause concern about actually over-torquing the bolts and shearing them. Yes, this can happen. I've had it occur on 1/2 inch bolts on a tractor. I've ordered washers to shim the bolts. Hopefully, this will solve this problem. If it does work, these should be included with this broadfork by the manufacturer.In summary, this is a great tool. I wish I had heard about it years ago. I now consider it an indispensable tool for the home gardener. This particular brand might benefit from one small change; but, functionally, it seems to be perfect for its intended purpose. I love mine!!(And it doesn't kill earthworms!)

I love this tool, and am working on using it to peer over 3000sq food of garden, from sod to vegetable patch.

Lowest priced broadfork I've seen.Surprised by the sturdiness of the tines. Narrow long plates that are large do what a "grelinette" (invented by Mr Grelin in France) is supposed to do: aerate the soil deeply without disturbing the fauna in the horizontal strates extremely well with not much effort. It took less than half the time it usually takes me to do my entire garden. I agree with another comment: a bit wobbly where the handles meet the u-bar. Could be better conceived. Not enough to lose a star. I also did a parcel that was a bit more packed. It went well. The handles and tines are sturdy.A broadfork should never be used to remove a tree stump or to aerate or turn clay soil. It appears sturdy enough however but you could hurt yourself or damage the tool.You have packed clay soil? Plant winter rye in the fall and don't bother to cut it. Use the broadfork to aerate. It will unroot the rye and the extra long roots will have already done part of the work for you while the now dead rye will compost in a few weeks and give you a rich loamy soil: just add some sand and you'll have the perfect soil for your veggies etc. Happy gardening!There are plenty of videos online of how to do this.
