How does the 7-inch forged head perform on compacted soil?

The forged steel head is shaped to slice through roots, sod, and compacted earth with controlled force. Its size gives a focused strike area for breaking ground without overburdening the user.

• 7-inch head concentrates impact for efficient soil penetration
• Forged construction increases toughness and resistance to chipping
• Eye design secures the handle for reliable, long-term use

What benefits does the 54-inch white ash handle provide?

North American white ash offers an optimal mix of stiffness and flexibility, reducing vibration while delivering good leverage for deeper digs or repetitive hoeing. At 54 inches, the handle length improves reach and reduces the need to bend, protecting the back during prolonged jobs.

• Premium ash provides durability and controlled flex
• Long handle increases reach and mechanical advantage
• Traditionally shaped for comfortable two-handed operation

Is this tool suitable for professional, everyday use?

Yes—the Tru Pro line is designed with contractors and ranch hands in mind, built for frequent, demanding tasks. The combination of a forged head and a premium ash handle creates a tool meant to withstand heavy-duty environments.

• Contractor-grade materials and construction
• Intended for farm, ranch, and landscaping applications
• Durability aimed at long service life with routine maintenance

How should I care for the hoe to extend its service life?

Routine care is straightforward: keep the head clean and dry, sharpen or dress the blade edge as needed, and periodically oil the wooden handle to prevent drying and cracking. Tighten or re-seat the head if it loosens over time to maintain safe use.

• Clean mud and debris after each use to prevent corrosion
• Apply light oil or linseed oil to the ash handle a few times a year
• Inspect the eye connection and re-seat or wedge if movement appears
