Turns out, I'm a pitchfork snob. When my old Durafork lost a tine after a year (or two?) of abuse, I replaced it with whatever I could get in a pinch at our local feed store. I assure you it was not a Durafork and I instantly regretted it. Reasons I will only use Durafork brand from now on include: better plastic quality that I know will stand up to daily abuse no matter the season, and better angle of tines so I don't have to bend over as far to be sure everything stays on the fork when I need it to. I have since switched back to this Durafork ... my back thanks me. I have learned my lesson and will only use Durafork brand from now on. The only down side is there is no option to select what color you get
I have been using Durafork replacement heads for years. I was shocked that my last one lasted through two winters before losing a tine. They work great in good weather and I ask a lot of them in the cold. They hold up well for the abuse I put them through.
So happy to find a durafork pitchfork head! I have an aluminum handle durafork and it is the only one I will use! I'm so happy I can buy replacements for my favorite tool! These heads are pretty sturdy and durable as long as you aren't messing with rocks or ice, anything super hard like that. I need to stock up on more of these!
Within the first week I got really positive feedback from a few people who used it at my barn. It's super sturdy and lightweight. Best of all it fit right on the handle and doesn't wiggle at all.
I've used Duraforks for years, and they have generally lasted well, but the last few have failed in the same way. In the stall, I'm trying to isolate the wet spot, and I am trying to push dry shavings away, so I flip the fork over and push.... CRACK, and the bar across the top breaks. I'm not super strong, either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
