- What is an ensilage fork used for?
- It moves loose material such as silage, manure, mulch and straw. The 10 tines scoop and carry bulky loads that a shovel would struggle with.
- Is the handle long enough for tall users?
- The ash handle is 30 inches, which is on the short side. Taller users may prefer a longer-handled fork for deep loads or high stacks.
- Will the tines bend under heavy loads?
- The tines are tempered steel, which resists bending better than mild steel. Avoid prying rocks or compacted soil, which can still damage them.
- Does the wood handle need maintenance?
- The ash handle is double varnished for weather resistance, but re-coating it periodically helps it last. Store it out of standing water.
- How does it compare with a manure fork?
- A manure fork usually has fewer, wider-spaced tines for bedding and manure. This 10-tine fork holds finer loose material like silage and mulch more securely.
