Bully Tools Broadfork

A broadfork is designed for deep soil aeration rather than turning over soil or digging holes. By standing on the crossbar and using your body weight, you leverage the tines into the ground to loosen compacted earth without disrupting the soil structure, which preserves the beneficial microbial life.

Yes, the fiberglass handles are engineered for high-impact resistance and heavy-duty use. They provide the necessary rigidity to break through dense, compacted clay while offering a lighter weight and more ergonomic feel than traditional wooden handles.

The broadfork is specifically designed to minimize physical strain by allowing you to use your body weight and leg strength rather than your back and arms. However, it still requires active movement, so it is best suited for those who can comfortably step onto the crossbar and maintain balance.

This tool is intended for loosening and aerating soil, not for excavation or prying. While it can help break up roots, using it to pry out large rocks or thick sod can damage the tines or handles; it is best used on soil that has already been cleared of major debris.

The broadfork typically arrives with the handles detached to accommodate shipping dimensions. You will need basic tools to secure the fiberglass handles into the sockets, but the process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes.
