Manufacturing, this tool is widely regarded as the absolute best broadfork on the market. It is built specifically to conquer tough, compacted conditions that leave lesser tools bent and broken.

Whether you are an avid backyard gardener practicing regenerative no-till methods, a busy nurseryman managing delicate root zones, or a professional landscaper prepping seasonal beds, this tool is built for a lifetime of heavy use. Available in three customizable configurations—5, 6, or 7 tines—you can choose the perfect width for your rows and your strength.

Why It Outperforms the Competition: Advantages & Key Features

• Proudly Made in the USA: Forged with premium craftsmanship by a family-owned team right here in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
• Heat-Treated, Hardened All-Steel: Unlike broadforks with wooden handles that splinter or twist, our completely all-steel design is structurally built to lever out heavy clay and rocky soil without flexing.
• Uniquely Tapered Tines: The extra-strong tines measure 10.5″ long from the crossbar and taper down to 2.5″, engineered with a distinct sharpness to pierce compacted earth effortlessly.
• Optimal 4.5″ Tine Spacing: Perfectly balanced spacing allows you to fracture and aerate the earth deeply without clogging or building up massive clumps of mud.
• Removable Handles for Easy Storage: Features sturdy, removable 4-foot all-steel handles that make transport, shipping, and off-season storage a breeze.
• Substantial Leverage Weight: At 18 lbs fully assembled with a 60″ overall height, the tool uses its own robust weight and your body posture to sink into the ground, saving your lower back from heavy lifting.

Intelligent Ways to Use Your Broadfork

A broadfork is the perfect alternative to a mechanical rototiller. While tillers pulverize soil structure and create a compressed “hardpan” layer underneath, a broadfork gently lifts and fractures the soil. This process preserves essential fungal networks and earthworm channels while maximizing water and air penetration.

• Spring Bed Preparation: Step up onto the crossbar, let your body weight sink the tines deeply, and rock the handles back to effortlessly fracture compacted winter soil.
• Deep Aeration for Root Crops: Use it a few weeks before planting carrots, potatoes, or garlic to ensure the earth is loose and deeply breathable, allowing root crops to grow perfectly straight.
• Working in Organic Matter: Effortlessly lift the earth to slide compost, mulch, or organic fertilizers deep down into the root zones without flipping or turning over your natural soil layers.
• Lifting Perennials & Harvesting Roots: The wide footprint makes it fantastic for loosening the soil around massive perennial root balls or harvesting buried potatoes without slicing them up like a traditional shovel would.
