A broadfork, also known as a grelinette, is an essential tool for small-scale farming and gardening using a no-till approach to soil preparation. The broadfork lifts and aerates soil without shredding it as a motorized tiller does. Broadforks are also excellent for heavy-duty weeding, and they can be an assist for harvesting root crops.

The CobraHead Broadfork is produced by Structures Co., Inc., of Cambridge, Wisconsin. The design is a joint effort between Noel Valdes of CobraHead and Craig Carpenter of Structures Co. The fork uses a traditional European broadfork design but with a unique tine mounting system where the tines are mounted through the crossbar instead of being welded to the outside of the crossbar. The 5/8" (15.9mm) tines are made of 1045 carbon steel, strong steel with excellent resistance to bending.

Benefits

  • Light Weight: 14 lbs
  • Strength: through the crossbar tine mounting – 1045 tine steel
  • Round tines: lift soil, unlike flat blade tines
  • Easier cleanup than outside mounted or flat tines
  • Optimally curved tines: penetrate tough soils
  • Ash Handles: great to work with
  • Traditional U-design: highly ergonomic

Dimensions

  • Overall Height: 57"
  • Handle Length: 48"
  • Width at widest point: 21"
  • Width (outside tine to tine): 17 1/2"
  • Tine Length: 9 1/4"
  • Tine Diameter: 5/8"
  • Weight:14 lbs

Works Great

Bought it after a friend let me borrow their broadfork. It helps us manage bermuda grass at our small operation.
