Possibly the last word in the third line should be read "smärre", i.e. smaller. So the estate contained 5 hoes for use on burn-beaten land, one better, two at 16 shillings apiece and two smaller. I believe that the translation "hoe" that Bo Nordenfors suggested is a better translation than "pickax", as the compound words mentioned in the Swedish Academy's wordbook all relate to some kind of digging or "grävande".
