Bully Tools 92627 Broad Fork with Fiber Glass Handle

Love this item! It works great and saves me so much time in the garden! I highly recommend this tool! Very well made, too.

This works great!!! Great for loosening your soil for no till gardening. It is a little heavy for me (65 yr old woman) but my husband had no problem. But I was able to use it as well.

Really impressed. Solid construction easy set up.

This broadfork is way better than tilling—fast, effective, and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Once you're in motion, it moves about 10 feet a minute, making quick work of the soil. Definitely money well spent.That said, the bolts securing the handles to the fork tend to shimmy loose, even when fully tightened. This creates a slight wobble that doesn’t impact performance much once you’re used to it, but it does raise concerns about long-term durability. Because of this, I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 stars. I plan to weld the connection soon for extra stability.I'm not sure how the manufacturer could improve this, but one possible solution is a clamp system like the ones used on razor scooters—something with a groove to secure the handle more tightly. Tighter tolerances in the nut holes or an additional bolt higher up on the handle could also help.Still, this tool is well worth the price. A tiller would cost much more to rent or buy, disrupt the soil structure, and wouldn’t penetrate as deeply. I did turn over the grass with a shovel first, and since my soil is sandy, the process felt pretty easy.

This broadfork is a beast! Perfect size, not too heavy, easy to wield. Most importantly the teeth are super sharp and cut through weeds and grass like butter. Wish I’d gotten one years ago to get my plot in order faster.

I was unaware this tool even existed until I saw it used on a YouTube video.After reading all the reviews I decided to give it a try. It was shipped promptly and arrived ahead of the projected delivery date.First of all, it's not a mini-bulldozer and it's not unbreakable. Using enough force against relatively immovable objects (roots and boulders), the handles can be broken as well as the tines being separated from the bar, and even the bar broken as pictures have shown. The solution to this is simple. If you encounter significant resistance,... stop. Use another tool. Dig up the obstacle. Pry it out with a more appropriate tool. If a root, cut it with a saw or axe.I'm using mine to clear a patch of ground for a garden. It does a remarkable job of loosening soil to the depth of the tines. The only other tool that will do this to this depth that I'm familiar with is a bottom plow pulled behind a farm tractor. The advantage of this tool over a bottom plow is that it doesn't create a hard "pan" that bottom plows can create. I suspect that mechanical tilling with gang tillers or rototillers can create a pan at their maximum depth. The "pan" I'm referring to is a hard layer of soil that can be created by soil compaction from using heavy tools repeatedly at a given depth, which interferes with water percolating below that depth.This has helped me clear patches of lariope, weeds, grass, vine roots and tree seedlings.Good ancillary tools are a turning fork, a potato fork, a broad rake and sharp transplanting shovels (to cut roots).On the down side for this particular product, I've found it difficult to keep the handles from working loose. This may not detract from the tool's function, but it does cause unnecessary movement and effort by the user,... and, frankly, it's irritating. Trying to tighten the handle bolts can cause concern about actually over-torquing the bolts and shearing them. Yes, this can happen. I've had it occur on 1/2 inch bolts on a tractor. I've ordered washers to shim the bolts. Hopefully, this will solve this problem. If it does work, these should be included with this broadfork by the manufacturer.In summary, this is a great tool. I wish I had heard about it years ago. I now consider it an indispensable tool for the home gardener. This particular brand might benefit from one small change; but, functionally, it seems to be perfect for its intended purpose. I love mine!!(And it doesn't kill earthworms!)

Wow this is a tough tool.Very heavy duty and well made. It makes my job so much easier.

Easy to assemble - works great
