"Swing fork" (vs. Broadfork)
Most folks have never heard of a "Swing Fork".... It's a tool design from The Old World (produced in Germany by SHW tools). This video shows the pros and cons of using this tool compared to a Broadfork....each has their place.

    The Dewit half moon hoe looks great. When attaching the hard ash handle using the supplied screw, the screw stripped even though I was being as careful as I could be. I finally found an Everbuilt #8 x 3/4" round head phillips zinc wood screw at a big box store. I couldn't find a stainless screw but was leaning in that direction even though they are weaker. While inserting the new screw, the screw broke off inside the handle. I think I will use it without a screw for now as it seems firmly attached without one. If the handle does come off, I'll drill out the old screw and try again. I do recommend drilling a pilot hole on those Dewit handles.

    Is there anything else that could trigger the wrapper? I checked the lever dealy and it slides fine. Ours prematurely wraps and doesn't shut off until pulling the lever manually. Its an intermittent but debilitating problem!

    I think the correct German name for that tool is a 'Karst'. It's used in vineyards which are very rocky and narrow between the rows to airate and plant new plants. Great tool, as you said mostly for rocky ground. For softer grounds there are 'Haue' which are the same tool, but with a narrow spade instead of forks. Great for turning ground and planting.

    - There was a trailer drawbar device on '?? New inventors? or something in Australia (ABC) 20 odd years ago with a"jointed drawbar" - ie, just -sort of - like yours. To reverse the trailer straight, or around a corner, it took the same inputs as simply backing the car, Their system used 2 gas struts pushing off the rear bumper of the car (or a bar connected to the sides of the trailer hitch, operation the same, add a link, reverse the steering input needed..

    You use the large muscles of your legs and your body weight to leverage the broad fork. You use weaker, although not necessarily weak, upper body muscles for the swing fork, plus the shock of that fork hitting the ground is transferred to your upper body. It’s a lot more work, which you may not realize when you are younger. Years from now you will realize the difference. I’m 78 and can still use a broad fork with ease. Swinging a tool into the ground/wood repeatedly will quickly give me a very sore back and shoulders. Why I went a hydraulic log splitter and retired the splitting mail years ago.

  • @floydblandston108
    @floydblandston108 18 днів тому

    When I was young, we used the swing fork to open potato hills and carrot beds and the like, working across the bed then pulling it to you. In our wet, stony ground it worked much better than the conventional 'digging fork', which was inclined to plug and harder to sink in. I'll happily attest to the excellence of the hand tools I've bought from you- *much* better than anything available to me locally, and well worth the cost- they are 'heirloom quality'.

    This tool is not used in europe in flat terrain. It is used to push the hay downhill to the point where you can pick it up with a tractor. This is old tool, replaced by hayrakes, like for example Lavrih AlpFlow. But these are much more expensive and used farmers with alot of steep slopes.

    Excellent video. Similar tools, but different. I know the video you're referencing by Curtis Stone, ua-cam.com/video/Js0MXh4PoRY/v-deo.html&t and to be fair, he has a unique situation where the PDR tool works great for him. Curtis only uses one implement on the BCS and because of that he has removed the quick coupler which changes the weight distribution. For his situation, he essentially created a multi-tool which speeds up his work. If you are able to have both tools I think that's great, but if you could only have one, I think you'd have to go with the tiller and roller (either the earth tools one or the PDR).
