Label TextThis hayfork would have been used to pitch material including hay, straw, leaves, and manure. The more tines (prongs) a tool had, the more efficient it would be for moving materials. Efficiency was a priority before the mechanization of agricultural work, when reaping, threshing, and pitching was done by hand.
