Definitions
A regional British variant name for a pitchfork — the long-handled farming tool with two or more metal tines used for pitching hay, turning compost, or generally moving loose material around a farm. 'Pickfork' is a dialectal blending of 'pick' (as in pickaxe) and 'pitchfork,' heard in parts of rural England. Totally functional, utterly unpretentious, and exactly what you'd expect from regional British agricultural vocabulary.
