I have heard someone call a dutch harrow a scrubber too
Pikle here tooI thought a Pike was a "pitch fork"
Very often used to go with grandad to mend glats with a hedge bill and pike, found his drashing hook in the shed the other day, not certain the handle will last much longer in it now though.I can remember grandad filling glatts with browse cut off with the hedge bill, he would go at it like a madman. Usually in poorly fenced fields he wanted to graze with ewes and lambs. Breakfast , bait, dinner and tea here. Supper and lunch are for posh folk
We have 3 or 4 about 4ft long pointed one end flattened at the other. I've never seen the spelling but we pronounce it as if its spelt gayblickI used to work with some Lincolnshire lads who used a short,thick steel bar, pointed at one end and with the middle bit forged square for knocking stakes into the ground. They referred to it as a Gablick. Does anyone else recognise this?
Twndis is Welsh for funnelHaving ancestors round Herefordshire borders they always called the funnel used to fill the tractor a tundish
Was told it was proper Herefordshire speak
Yes ,the farm I started on had one , a point to make a starter hole,the square in the middle to hammer the post in and the other end was like a jaw to prize nails out,sodding heavy but for knocking in 2 inch net steaks,it was brilliant.I used to work with some Lincolnshire lads who used a short,thick steel bar, pointed at one end and with the middle bit forged square for knocking stakes into the ground.

I was brought up to call them tegs too. Animals were fed (concerntrates) cake in trows . We still say silorater instead of forager. So and so's on, i can hear the silorater barking or singing out in the distance!Theaves, gimmers, shearlings, I'm from Kent where they are known as tegs!
A bread split is a single portion, a tuff can be cut into portions, not necessarily tho in my case.Thres no split or tuff in that poster.

Plenty thanks, used to spend a lot of time topping them, now just get them sprayed, 12 acres at a time ( contractors sprayer tank full).
Oakway - bay in hay shed, e.g. one oakway left to fill means one bay left to fill.
Devon shovel is also often referred to in different circles as a miners shovel as same design was used by miners in Devon and Cornwall.
On the bread debate I see Stotty is included but under Yorkshire, I knew it from Geordie Land, Newcastle.
