A chisel plow is a minimum tillage plow in that it does not dislodge or turn over the entire soil profile the way a mold board plow does. Chisel plowing is primarily used for deep tillage. It can be adjusted to till shallow or deep, and does not invert the entire soil profile.
The chisel plow performs the initial loosening of the soil while leaving a high percentage of trash on top. The chisel plow typically has C-Shaped shanks mounted on dual coil springs. The frame, shanks, and springs are of sufficient weight, size, and strength to provide an 8″-12″ cutting depth. The chisel plow is used to break up the hardpan and compacted areas. This is followed by a disk harrow, tandem disk harrow, or offset disk harrow of sufficient weight and size to provide a 6″-8″ cutting depth.
