manure fork

Stable waste tool

A manure fork is a long-handled farm tool with multiple tines, designed for moving manure, soiled bedding, and other loose organic material.

Unlike a pitchfork, which typically has fewer, sharper tines for lifting hay, a manure fork has more tines set closer together to handle heavier, clumpier loads.
