Potato Digger
- Pitchfork - Pitchforks worked as extensions of farmers' arms, allowing them to skewer, lift, and move larger quantities of hay, sheaves of grain, or straw than they could do with just their hands. They used different fork designs for different jobs. Two- and three-tine forks like this (with short metal points) worked best to pitch bundles of grain from field to wagon to thresher.
