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.
