Meet the RowFork, the latest innovation in the Treadlite Broadfork lineup—designed specifically for tight spaces, repetitive use, and smooth aeration between crops. Weighing in at just 9 lbs, this lightweight powerhouse offers your choice of 3 or 4 sturdy tines, making it the ideal tool for market gardeners, home growers, and anyone working with closely planted rows.
We have thoughtfully designed this broadfork to be high strength for the toughest soils by combining our steel handle with an ash wood crossbar, feel the warmth of natural wood in your hands while broadforking with the strength of all steel.
The narrower profile of the RowFork gives you maximum maneuverability without sacrificing performance, while the T-style single handle provides smooth, ergonomic control with every pass. Perfect for row-style motion, the RowFork is easy to pull through the soil, making aeration less tiring and more efficient over extended use.

It looks and feels substantial, and my initial use suggest it will be as effective as I hoped. However, I had to get out my drill and ream out a couple of holes in the handle-fork connection to get the bolts to go all the way through because they were slightly misaligned. Disappointing, but not a deal-breaker. Hoping for lots of good use.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new row fork! It's just what I was looking for. I already have - and love - the 20" four tine broadfork but I wanted a smaller version of it but of the same quality. And I got it! I am so pleased with my row fork. I think anyone who turns dirt would be very happy with one. I'm even thinking of buying one as a house warming gift for my son and his wife. For reference, I'm a 74 y/o woman. Thank you, Treadlite, for making this tool available to purchase.
Very stout, sturdy, and effective. Worth the money, I feel that these tools will last forever. This one is perfect for forking in the furrows of my prepared beds.
Was a bit skeptical, I live in the bay area in an old neighborhood that must have imported a lot of clay soil. Using a normal shovel often felt like trying to get into nearly set concrete. The fork I ordered from Treadlite said it could handle hard clay, they were very right. I ordered a 3-tine thinking fewer tines would have an easier time in our tough soil but can say it probably wouldn't have mattered, the 3-tine gets in with very little effort and pulls up a very good amount of the clay and breaks it up at the same time. We've been able to mix in soil/dirt that isn't so much clay and planting/growing has been soooooooooo much better.
Highly recommend to anyone who needs to till or mix soil or do any amount of tough digging in general.
I absolutely love my broadfork. My soil was quite compacted and in previous years, this affected my plants. I can't wait to see the difference this year. If anything. I'm just happy about how helpful this tool has been overall.
I have learned that the broadfork is the single greatest gas-free home garden implement ever created.
My soil was dry and the water ran off. I used the broadfork to open the soil. The water went into the cracks and moistened the soil deeply. The soil was moist for many days.
I did not have to invert the soil leaving it in its natural top-down state.
I have a heavy broadfork that I purchased from another company, it's beautiful and good to pull out rocks from a new bed, but I am always exhaused working a small patch of yard. I just purchased a Treadlite Rowfork 16" 4 tine fork and really love it. It is very well built, the tines are long enough and the slight angle in the handle give you a headstart, meaning you don't have to bring the handle all the way down to the ground to break up the soil. I tore up the beds around my fruit trees and vegetables in no time. I could go on and on about the fork , it's uses and benefits, my advice to anyone reading this review is stop tilling and get forking. Your beds will look livelier and you will look a lot more younger.
Purchased for my husband for his birthday. He absolutely loves it. So easy to use.
Only issue was the nuts and bolts didn’t line up properly in the handle and he had to bore out the holes.
Item was packaged well and shipped in a timely manner. The fork was easy to construct and was built strongly. I've used the fork recently and it preforms as advertised. Thanks!!!
