When loading squares of hay it was always the weak link who got the 4 pronged fork. The treat of it made the heaviest of bales always seem lighter.

Never got that grape thing either.

2 prong fork = hay fork
3 prong fork = silage fork
4 prong fork = dung fork

All collectively known as forks.

Country folk have no respect for the elderly

The boys with the phone will have no luck out of all this.

Three prongs? Never witnessed such a contraption. Fork for hay, grape for everything else…a long hamdled grape for silage right enough

Perceptions can be misleading.

Video won’t play for me

Why do you country lads hate old people?

No country for old men

It’s Graipe ffs. @anon67715551

Confirmed. It’s GRAIPE. You eat a grape. You threaten undesirables with a graipe

Now fall in.

Graipe? Who’d a thunkit

Indeed. And there’s even an implement that we’d refer to as a turf-graipe. These have the tine ends dulled so as not to penetrate the turf sods when forking the into trailers…
I know it’s all last century stuff but I’m told that residents of sugar beet producing counties referred to these unwieldy tools as beet-sprongs. Daft fuckers, everyone knows they’re turf-graipes.

I have my father’s graipe in the shed. Of all the implements, bladed, motored or chained, I’d put my hand on the graipe if the gate was breached and the cunts were coming up the passage.

No amount of cocaine would carry a man towards the graipe.

Hopefully the antagonistic bastards

An excellent deterrent indeed. Further evidence of the multiple uses of the noblest of implements.
Yes, yes indeed. You’d need to be off your rocker to tangle with a graipe wielder defending his home.
