Over the years manufactures and farmers have skewed the definition of chisel plows. That right there is more of a ripper. We demoed one to break up a grass bottom. Worked great. Chisel plows came out in the 30s and 40s and was a product of the dust bowl. The first ones we had were lever lift Graham-Hoemes. The common practice was to use them with sweeps to kill the weeds but leave the stubble on top for erosion control. http://www.asabe.org/awards-landmarks/asabe-historic-landmarks/graham-hoeme-chisel-plow-38.aspx https://www.google.com/search?q=graham+hoeme+plow&biw=1366&bih=622&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5rYqS7LjLAhUC-mMKHclrBy4Q_AUIBigB
