What a bright Spark you are ! You've done really really well - and so quick !
2. English Machete - can't give it although almost the right shape.
3. Sickle - Correct, the example is that of a corn sickle. 2pts
4. Small Dibber - Spot on, 2pts
5. Hoe - not quite, though obviously a relation.
6. Big Dibber or Golf hole maker - 1 bonus point for the suggested application.
8. (Maquis de Sade) Aerator - I'm going to give it, as it's actually a wool-sack tightener: the marquis patented a ball-sack tightener. :o :o :o :o ;D 2pts.
10. Scythe - Correct, recognisable of course from Kev's avatar. 2pts
11. Hay fork - of the 2-prong variety. Correct, 2pts
12. Harrow - good answer, its specifically a clod harrow. 2pts
Leaderboard :
Sparky 13pts

Stormin's answers came in just after Sparky's and before I had finished scoring Sparky's so they get marked in their own right.
3 - Field scythe - not a scythe shape, definitely a sickle as per the old USSR flag.
4 - Iron dibber - correct, 2pts
5 - Hay rake - or muck rake, used for mucking out stables. 2pts
6 - Potato planter (not used in Jersey as they use the Portugese)- good answer - 2pts plus bonus for extra detail.
12 - Hand harrow - correct, 2pts
Leaderboard:
1. Sparky 13pts
2. Stormin' 9pts
Just 1,2,7 & 9 left to get.

More guesses
1. Looks like something used to gather up wheat etc. after being cut by scythe so a Harvesting fork ?
7. Looks like something used to drag bales of hay so a Bale Spike ?

That's it, all of them cracked.
Sparky gets two bonus points for correct descriptions of the applications.
Lord Cheeky however has given the exact names so gets the full 4pts.
Final table:
1. Sparky 15pts
2. Stormin' 13pts
3. Lord Cheeky 4pts
