WHEEL HOE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Connect a Blade Assembly or other Wheel
Hoe attachment using the
Quick Release Pin
.
• Adjust the handle height so that the operator’s
hands are at waist level.
• For light weeding in loose soil, the operator
may walk along steadily, keeping the blade
1/2” to 1” below the soil surface.
• In heavy soils or with larger weeds, a back
and forth motion may be required. The oscillat
-
ing action of the blade dislodges weeds.
• Wheel Hoe blades come unsharpened for
your safety. For larger weeds or tighter soils, it
helps to sharpen the blade with a
Mill Bastard
File
or
Speedy Sharp
.
THE BROADFORK
The broadfork
is excellent for
opening soils to
12” deep. This tool
will deeply aerate
your soil, increase
water percolation,
and preserve soil
structure. It is also
an excellent tool for
harvesting carrots,
potatoes, garlic, onions,
and the like. We offer
4 Tine, 5 Tine, and new 7 Tine broadforks.
