What is a manure fork used for?

It lifts and moves manure, soiled bedding, straw, hay and mulch. The open five-tine head lets fine material fall through while the solids stay on the tines.

Is the head forged or stamped?

The head is forged steel, which generally holds up better than stamped tines under heavy barn use.

How long is the handle?

The handle is 48 inches, long enough to reach into carts and beds without bending far.

Can I use it for digging?

No. It is a pitchfork-style tool for loose material, not a digging fork, and the tines are not made for prying in soil.

Does it work for mulch and compost?

Yes. The five tines handle wood chips, compost and straw well, though fine material will sift through the gaps.

Our take on the Seymour S550 Forged 5 Tine Manure Fork

The Seymour S550 is a five-tine forged manure fork from Midwest Rake, built for moving manure, mulch, straw and other loose material. The forged steel head holds five tines, and the 48-inch handle gives reach for loading carts, wheelbarrows and beds. It is a single-purpose tool: a bedding fork or pitchfork for barn and garden work rather than digging or lifting heavy loads. Compared with lighter stamped-tine forks, the forged head is the main selling point for buyers who expect the tines to take a beating.
