Because of its sheer weight it could not be used as a hand tool, but rather had to be pulled across a tilled and harrowed piece of ground by a mule, ox, horse. Andy

The tool looks really evil. I would call it ” The EVIL HARROW”… The creator must be design specific, I mean look at the design. Its rare to see artistic gardening tools. Enjoy farming with your evil harrow.. You can auction it later..lolz.

Regards,
Mac

You know the old garden tools would last hundreds of years and the junk we get nowadays has to be replaced all the time.

But, my dad had a special name for it:

The Debil (devil)

Whenever I was using it out back in the garden he would sneak up behind me and whisper:

Here come the debil
Walking ‘long the lebil (level)
Digging up the grabel (gravel)
With his looooooong toenails!

It’s not so much a weeding tool as destroyer of weed worlds

I guess “hand cultivator” or “hand harrow” are the right terms. The modern incarnations don’t seem to be as fierce as this vintage model, though, do they?
