At present, a hoe is a traditional long handled agricultural tool with a flat and thin blade that is horizontally mounted. It can be used for harvesting, digging holes, ridging, plowing, covering soil, weeding, breaking soil, intermediate tillage, and soil cultivation operations. It is a versatile agricultural tool and one of the most commonly used tools by farmers. When using, grip the handle with both hands and perform a rotary impact motion. Its structure, shape, weight, etc. vary depending on the soil quality in different places. The existing hoe structure is too simple, with low practical performance, and cannot achieve efficient operation.

With one hand in front and the other behind, the distance between the front hand and the head of the hoe accounts for two-thirds of the entire handle, and the distance between the back hand and the tail of the long handle is only 20 centimeters. Do not grip to the lowest end, as it may be uncomfortable to use force.

The distance between the front hand and the back hand is 40 centimeters to 50 centimeters, which is more suitable. You can use force freely and feel very comfortable.

When planing the ground, first raise the hoe above one's own head, and then lift it vigorously with the previous hand. Press the end of the hoe handle with the latter hand naturally.

Hoe and pickaxe are two common agricultural tools, with very similar shapes that many people cannot distinguish and often confuse them. In fact, there are still some differences between the two.

The differences in appearance also result in different uses. A hoe is mainly used for weeding and loosening soil. The pickaxe is mainly used for digging soil. Although a hoe can also be used for weeding and loosening soil, its efficiency is much lower than that of a hoe.
