If you can get an old or broken disk from a farmer and have the ability ( or find someone who does) to cut and weld it, man can you make a good hoe. It will outlast several generations of your family. I found the best Hoe to be kind of like a field Hoe but the size of a small pizza slice, about 6 inches at the cutting edge and about 5 inches to the shaft insert.
- pixl97 3y agoIn general the metal part of the hoe will only wear out in the constant use/multi generational use. Most of time the problem is the interface between the head and the handle that causes the most issues.
- nerdponx 3y agoThis seems to be a common problem for tools that use a metal head and a wooden handle. Hammers, trowels, shovels, etc.
- pixl97 3y agoIt's a materials trade off. You could make a metal handled hoe, but it would be heavy for the users, and it would transfer the impact vibrations up to the user making it uncomfortable to use. Instead things like wood and fiberglass are used that are lighter, but it does come with the weaker interface.
