Starter kit FAQ
What should I buy first for a barn?
Buy the products that solve repeat chores first: buckets, stall fork, feed scoop, bucket hangers, feed tub or feeder, grooming tote, and replacement parts.
Should I start with Silver Line or Platinum Line?
Start with Silver Line for everyday utility and broad color organization. Add Platinum Line when you want heavier-use step-up buckets, tubs, or feeders.
What is the best first cleanup tool?
Start with the KD-115 Stall Fork for full-size daily cleanup. Add KD-140 or another compact fork for kids, trailers, and smaller jobs.
