"I've been using this fork at another farm for over a year now and have been looking for one for myself. This fork gets every bit of manure even when it's been stepped on and tracked around in the stall. If you want clean stalls, this is the fork for you!"
"This is the ONLY fork I use, I have about 4 of the others, but once I got use to the added weight of this fork, even the JR Fine Tine fork feels like I am using a kitchen fork to clean my stalls. . . . Yes, for the first week or so, I thought I was going to die using this fork, but, now if I use the others, they feel like a childs toy in my hands"
"I clean only one stall, fine shavings. Junior size. Picks up smallest pieces, obvious reason for buying it. However, even with gentlest use, the basket breaks every 3-4 mos. I just bought my 5th fork in about two years! And couldn't buy only the basket without the handle. Now have 4 useless handles. This is a love/hate relationship, but I keep buying it!"
"I basically have a large litterbox for my horses, as they have pelleted bedding and attached runs with screenings. So I get a little crazy with sifting through to get every last piece of poop. This works perfectly. I own like 4 other rakes and this has ruined all others for me, it's the only one I use."
"I have had this about two weeks. I keep it outside, the paint is chipping off the handle already. I use pine pellets and I have minis. So, if you are cleaning straight manure it is fine. But, bear in mind if the pellets are slightly moistened and puffy, they get stuck in the tines. I feel like I waste a lot of pellets that way."
"I love this pitchfork because the fine tines allow you to get the smallest pieces of manure."
"Had I known this fork was a huge basket type I would not have ordered one!! It looks pretty flimsy and like it would break easily. ALSO the handle that was sent with it had the hole drilled off center so the bolt won't align up with the hole in the handle and basket head."
"The plastic needs to be stronger. They are great for awhile and then sifting poo they will break. I really like the close tines for picking, just need to find the reason for breaking. Cannot seem to find the manufacturer to complain about their process."
"Works great on non fluffy bedding, sand & dirt. This is my favorite for barn, run, Arena & parking lot cleaning. Does not work well on fluffy bedding. . . but what does??"
