Más información sobre Hoes and small hoes

Bellota hoes and small hoes are used for digging, weeding, cultivating and preparing the soil in the vegetable patch, garden or vineyard. Most are hoes forged in one piece from special steel and fully tempered, with the anti-twist system that locks the head onto the handle. You will also find dual-purpose small hoes and lightweight Air hoes.

Types of Bellota hoes and small hoes

  • Forged anti-twist hoes: such as the HOE1, with a narrow concave edge for detail work, or the HOE72 Galicia model, designed for potato growing.
  • Hoes with certified wooden handle: the HOE81W comes handled from the factory with a PEFC handle and lets you choose a 168 or 200 mm blade.
  • Dual-purpose small hoes: the HOE228 combines a concave-edged hoe with a fork for clearing roots.
  • Lightweight Air hoes: the L1CM1200 is 40% lighter than a conventional hoe and its 1200 mm handle lets you work upright.

How to choose a hoe

  • By task: a narrow concave edge for detail work and weeding, a wider blade to move more soil and a dual-purpose small hoe for clearing roots.
  • By handle: some come handled and others are sold without a handle, which you can fit to your own preference.
  • By your back: Air hoes and long handles let you work more upright.
  • Compatibility: check the eye size and see the replacement handles.

Frequently asked questions

What is the anti-twist system on a hoe?

It is a design with two grooves in the eye of the head that lock it against turning on the handle. The hoe does not wobble or come loose, with no need for wedges or rags.

What is the difference between a hoe and a small hoe?

A hoe has a single blade, whereas Bellota dual-purpose small hoes combine the hoe with a fork, a pick or a lance, depending on the model.

Which hoe is best for the vegetable garden?

It depends on the job: a narrow concave-edged hoe for detail work, a wide-bladed one to move more soil, or a lightweight Air hoe if you work for long hours.

Are hoes sold with a handle?

It depends on the model: the HOE81W comes with a certified PEFC wooden handle, while others, such as the HOE228, are sold without one.

Can I replace the handle of my hoe?

Yes, Bellota offers replacement handles in wood, including with the anti-twist system, and in carbon fibre. Choose the size to match the eye of your hoe in the replacement handles collection.
