I could not be happier about our broad fork purchase ! It was an investment but well worth it. I have been able to work my garden soil much more effectively with the broad fork. I was skeptical but I recommend it now for anyone who gardens. Here’s a small sample of our garden rewards so far this season. Thank you!!
All good. Looking forward to see the result at harvest time. Thank You Jim and Renee Vandermissen
Well made tool
This tool is built like they used to build products! We are breaking new beds with tree roots and you can really get after it with this thing 100% worth the price. I am surey boys will still be using this thing long after I am gone it's built that well.
The broadfork was effective in my heavy clay and rock filled soil. Tillers do a porpoise dance when they meet the rocks. The broadfork just encourages them to come up out of the way. I only used it a bit during our false Spring. When the snow goes away for the real Spring’s arrival I will go finish prepping an area for blackberries.
Great leverage for dislocating highly-compacted clay. My only complaint is that the tines didn’t stand up to some of my rocks. The steel handles give you so much leverage that I bent back the tips of the tines (in fairness one of these rocks weighed hundreds of pounds). I hammered the tips back into form but wonder if some sort of hardening could be applied.
I'm converting this small patch of sunburned lawn into a vegtable garden. The first pass was pretty easy and it allowed me to pull undesireable plants out easily too.
Absolutely love my new broadfork!!! We have super heavy rock-hard clay and it holds up beautifully. I have been using it to loosen the soil to plant new fruit trees, around weeds to make them easier to pull, and basically EVERYWHERE in our yard to loosen the soil so I can actually get a shovel in. It has been absolutely the best tool that I have ever bought for our yard.
As welder I looked this 14 inch tined Broadfork over well and was impressed with the craftmanship. I absolutely love them. I just put a new Carburetor on my tiller to get it running this year and have no intention of ever using it again.
Great tool. Primarily using to crack open the heavy clay for better yard drainage. The only thing that could improve the experience would be longer steel handles. I'm 6 ft tall and the extra leverage would reduce the fatigue of levering back and cracking open 14" of compacted clay...perhaps 12" longer?
Super sturdy quality broadfork, glad to buy US made. Kind of fun to crack open the soil with this tool!
I bought it for my husband as a birthday gift. It is definitely made very well and will last a lifetime. He has used it once so far and likes it, but did comment that it would be nice to have a flat spot to put your foot on when you step it down into the dirt. He also plans on using it to help dig potatoes and garlic in the fall. ❤️
It's like a human-powered rototiller! I really like the broadfork for tilling compacted clay soil and digging up rocks and saplings as I renovate my strawberry bed. All components are excellent quality, though my tasks may be too strenuous for the ash handles I ordered it with. I'm currently attempting to get replacement wood and polymer handles, because I don't want to be without this tool again!
It’s been too wet to try it in the garden, but I’m already so impressed with the quality and workmanship. Thank you!
Very stout, sturdy, and effective. Worth the money, I feel that these tools will last forever.
Great company! Fantastic product! Wonderful customer Service! Third one purchased and still loving the product!
Great product wish I had one sooner
Have you ever thought about adding more of an angle to the tines so you don't have to pry so far down? Not sure if it would work but was just a thought while I was tilling!
Great tool!
The broad fork is very solid. A little wiggle in the handles but I gave it a really good workout. Currently have the steel handles on and they have little to no flex under load. No worries about breaking. Looking forward to switching to the wood handles when the terrain gets a little softer.
Worked fine for turning the soil
Great product. Easy to assemble, seems like it will last forever. It’s been super helpful on projects already!
I looked at other Broadforks,those fork are made of Tin,are not worth scrap, This Treadlite fork is a Beast,solid Steal, I have Hard Packed Clay soil,that even a Tiller wouldn't break up,but the Treadlite fork penetrate this soil like butter,broke up Bermuda roots, Bottom line is this Treadlite Broadfork is worth every penny
Excited to get this product and using already! Love it!
My husband loves it.
Fantastic build quality! And it works so well! This thing is over built in the best way. The metal is thick and strong, and I have no doubts it would make quick work of any soil type. My only gripe is the metal handles didn't fit all the way into the broadfork, so I can't use the supplied screws to attach them. Nothing some filing and a hammer can't fix, but some quality control on that would be really nice.
Hi folks, Our "plow" arrived and we put it right to use during a good weather window, breaking up hardpan below tiller depth, and wearing ourselves out. It's a beast and works great. Glad for the steel handles, because I think we would have broken wooden ones already. No photos to send yet and now the weather's turning bad. We'll stay in touch
Works great. I am however having a difficult time getting the handles to seat into the fork deep enough to place the screws. Since the handle ends have wooden caps, I can’t hammer the ends. It still works fine.
Worth it, long tines for root crop development.
Works well to break up sod, much less fuss than trying to wrestle with a 80 pound rototiller.
My new ThreadLite broadfork is designed well, and it works great. It also gives me a healthy exercise workout. Patrick (Minnesota gardener)
First day broad forking my hard red clay. I looked down and long mature worms (3) were actually crawling around my new fork. I have determined this tool as my personal "worm magnet". I am not a big camera guy so I did not record but that memory will be held for a long time. I wrote the company asking a question but I guess they are busy making their great tools. Glad I ordered anyway. Robert
I saw Treadlite broadforks in a youtube video years ago and remembered they were in Wisconsin. As I am also in Wisconsin, I thought I would give them a try when it came time to turn some old beds. I’m super happy with my new fork. Good Stuff, Thank You.
We got this to break ground so we could put in raised beds. It works great! Grass comes up in chunks of sod. We learned that watering the ground before use helped the ground break up easier. We love this tool and highly recommend it!
Well made product
We like the heavy duty aspect of this tool. Can deeply break up hard soil. Well made. No flex in the fork. Metal handles recommended for this broadfork due to the potential forces being applied. Not too heavy but hefty enough that it facilitates soil entry.
Great broadfork, everything I expected.
A very well made tool. I look forward to many years of use, then handing down to my children.
Great quality, fast shipping. Now the work begins. But it will be easier now, I have the right tool!
Great delivery, wonderful transaction. The broadfork is anazing!
