underground hook


Explanation:
According to Ernst, WB der industriellen Technik, an "Untergrundlockerer" is a synonym for a "Bodenmeissel", and is a subsoiler, subsoiling attachment or underground lifter. I guess this is one of the same family of tools and therefore may well be something used e.g. to rake out a course for pipes etc.
