Metal Basket Fork for Wood Pellet Bedding

My plastic one didn't last very long.

Anyone know where can I get one? I saw one in the 'tried and tested' feature in Eventing magazine a while ago, but unfortunately didn't keep the copy.

I bought one of these the other day - cost £30, from my local farm supply shop. Itwas called rubber matting fork. To tell the truth, plastic was better, prongs on the metal one are just a little too wide apart to sift all the ickle bits of pooh from the pellets as effectively, also sides didn't come up quite high enough for shaking out pellet fibre, as pooh rolled off. Also, much heavier, so making mucking out more of a chore. Good for pooh picking though.

Maybe I'll just get another plastic one, only need the head part as already have the handle. Anyone know the cheapest place to get one?

I've just had to order two more from Aquamax - the heads broke on them and I tied them with cable ties which lasted a while but eventually they gave up. I asked if they just supply the heads and not the handles - will let you know what they say.

I just use metal shavings forks on them.

bought mine from Thirsty bed, plastic head on wooden handle, it seems pretty strong, I haven't managed to break it yet!
