Hey folks. I'm shopping for a mondo broadfork suitable for all conditions including clay.

They're hard to get here. Most US manufacturer's won't ship directly. The offshore stuff looks like junk.

Amazon.ca has the Bully Tools 92627 Broad Fork with Fiber Glass Handle for an eye-watering price. But if it's a lifetime investment I'll swallow hard and buy it.

What do you think?

Thanks! I'm sure they're great, but the markup for filling out a customs form is pretty outrageous.

I'm looking at this broadfork made in Quebec by Growers & Co. Looks promising. Price includes shipping.

I recently bought a “harvesting” broad fork from Johnny’s Select seeds. They also have different sizes of aeration-type broad forks. The metal fork part shipped separately from the wooden posts and had to be assembled, which was not hard, and also shows that handles can be replaced easily as needed.
