KD-135 Mini Fork

When a full-size fork feels like more tool than the job needs, the KD-135 fits the work. It's easier to swing in a small stall, down the side of a trailer or into a corner where a wide fork bangs the walls. The 54-inch handle gives you good reach without the bulk, and the assembled fork measures 61 inches overall.

That matters on the days that add up. Daily bedding and manure cleanup, a quick pickup before the trailer goes out and the small barn jobs that never make the list are all easier with a compact, manageable fork. K&D designs its forks for the way barns actually run, and this one is built for everyday barn work.

Highlights

• Fits tight stalls, corners and trailers
• Compact, manageable size
• 54-inch handle for reach without bulk
• Suits youth chores and smaller handlers
• Replacement head sold separately

Why choose a compact fork

Most barns have a full-size fork that handles the big jobs. The trouble is that a full-size fork is awkward in a small stall, a tight trailer or a corner full of bedding. A compact fork lets you clean those spots without dragging the big tool in and out. Plenty of barns keep one of each: the full-size fork for daily stall work and the compact one for the trailer, the corners and the quick chores.

Handle length matters too. A long enough handle gives you reach over a wall or into a trailer without climbing in, and a compact head keeps the work manageable on every pass. That is the trade a compact fork makes: less bulk for the same kind of cleanup.

It suits a youth handler learning the chores, an adult who does the barn alone and anyone whose trailer cleanup happens in a hurry before a show. If your barn is small or your daily cleanup is light, a compact fork may be the only one you need.

How to use it

Keep the fork ready for the next cleanup:

1. Brush off debris after each use, so manure and bedding don't dry on the tines.
2. Store it in a dry place when you can, up off the wet floor.
3. Check the handle and the head connection now and then, and tighten or replace anything that loosens.
4. Swap in a replacement head when the old one wears. The KD-135, KD-139 and KD-140 all take the same replacement head.

Work with short, controlled pulls so you keep the fork in hand in a tight space. Wash off trailer mud after a hauling trip so it doesn't cake on and get hard to clean.

Good to know

• Pair it with the KD-115 Stall Fork for full-size daily cleanup. Use the compact fork where the big one can't go.
• The KD-139 Mini Trailer Fork suits trailer and show-day cleanup when that is the main job.
• Keep a spare replacement head on hand so a worn head doesn't sideline the fork.
