Overview
Ames 1838000 is a four-tine manure fork for lifting and moving manure, compost and other loose material around the garden. A long handle provides leverage, and the tines are described as sharp, sturdy steel.
A long handle and steel tines make this a straightforward tool for turning and spreading loose material by hand. Four tines carry bulky manure and compost well but let finer scraps fall through, and the listing does not agree with itself on handle length or material.
Who it's for
Gardeners with a manure or compost pile to move and spread over a bed or border. Those who need a digging fork for compacted ground, or a short fork for tight spaces, should choose a different tool.
Pros and cons
- Four steel tines for loose material
- Long handle gives leverage
- Suits manure, compost and mulch
- Four tines let fine material fall through
- Listing material and length details conflict
- Warranty terms are not spelled out
- Not meant for digging hard soil
Performance notes
The long handle acts as a lever, so the load is lifted by arm and back over a longer arc instead of at the tines. Four tines pick up bulky material, while smaller bits slip between them. Tine strength decides how heavy a forkful can be, and the listing gives no load rating.
