Krumpholz Hay Fork - 3 Tine Design, 130cm Ash Handle - Hand-forged Tool for Loading Hay, Straw & Stalky Forage

Krumpholz Hay Fork - 3 Tine Design - Hand-Forged Tool for Loading Hay & Stalky Forage

Moving bulky, stalky materials like hay, straw, or loose forage quickly requires a fork that is light to handle yet robust enough not to bend. The Krumpholz Hay Fork (Pitchfork) is engineered for this specific task, hand-forged by a European family blacksmith with over 220 years of experience. Featuring three precisely spaced tines and fitted with an extra-long 130cm Ash Wood handle and stabilizing spring grommet, this professional-grade tool ensures maximum capacity and superior control for efficient loading and unloading.

Best For The committed small farmer, property owner, or heavy-duty gardener seeking a master-forged, rugged tool for the high-capacity lifting, moving, and handling of light, voluminous materials like hay, straw, and bedding.

Key Features

• Master Hand-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a traditional European blacksmithing company since 1799, this tool is forged from premium steel for maximum toughness, balance, and guaranteed lifelong durability.

• Specialized Hay Capacity (3 Tines): The three strong tines are designed with optimal spacing and a long, slender profile to securely lift large bundles of stalky forage (300mm x 300mm head size) without excessively dragging or dropping material.

• Superior 130cm Leverage: The robust, extra-long Ash Wood handle offers excellent control and reach, maximizing leverage for easy pitching and protecting your back from strain when moving voluminous loads.

• Spring Grommet for Stability: The integrated spring grommet provides a secure point of attachment, minimizing the risk of the head loosening or wobbling during aggressive loading and throwing motions.

• Lightweight and Balanced: Although heavy-duty, the specialized design ensures the fork is perfectly balanced for lifting bulky materials, reducing physical fatigue during extended mucking or feeding tasks.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
