Pitching hay. A pitchfork or hay fork is an agricultural tool used to pitch loose material, such as hay, straw, manure, or leaves. It has a long handle and usually two to five thin tines designed to efficiently move such materials. The term is also applied colloquially, but inaccurately, to the garden fork.

A pitchfork is used to hurl a hessian bag stuffed with straw over a horizontal bar above the competitor's head. [1] Typical weight for the bag is 16 or 20 pounds (7.3 or 9.1 kg). [2] Three chances are given to each competitor to cleanly go over the bar.
It is used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming, and not to be confused with the pitchfork, a similar tined tool used for moving (or throwing) loose materials such as hay, straw, silage, and manure. [2] A garden fork is used similarly to a spade in loosening and turning over soil.
The number of tines on tools varies widely – a pitchfork may have just two, a garden fork may have four, and a rake or harrow many. Tines may be blunt, such as those on a fork used as an eating utensil; or sharp, as on a pitchfork; or even barbed, as on a trident. The terms tine and prong are synonymous. A tooth of a comb is a tine.
