pitchfork is slightly radiused and can be used for picking up hay. Tridents have barbed tines, and aren't good for hay because they don't release the hay. Both usually have 3 tines.
Dungforks have multiple tines and are for manure.

A trident is three pronged and a pitch fork is 4 or 5 prongs

Technically, a trident has a straight line across the top of the rod where the three prongs are. That makes it easy to use as a weapon.
A pitchfork has a line as well with three prongs, but the line is bent, which makes it easier to use to pick up hay or kill Frankenstein.

"A pitchfork is a tool with a long handle and long, thin, widely separated pointed tines (also called prongs) used to lift and throw loose material, such as hay, leaves, grapes, or other agricultural products. Pitchforks typically have from 2 to 6 tines and have different lengths and spacing depending on purpose."
"A trident is a three pronged staff or spear... It was used by fishermen to catch fish."

One is used for fishing, the other for shoveling manure...
The trident usally has straight prongs, and the pitch fork is curved...
