What implement have you find is the best for shifting large piles of cut

What you want is what in Ireland is called a Grape. It is similar in
appearance to a garden digging fork except the tines are thin, round
and pointed instead of flat. The head also tends to be bigger and the
handle longer and thicker. They may be called Manure forks in your neck
of the wood


I use the *chaff* fork left over from thrashing drum days. Wheat or Oats
used to produce huge piles which was saved for mixing with horse feed.
Tines as above but roughly 3 times the size of a manure fork.
