steigerpower - So if you took the sweeps off example #1 and bolted them onto the shanks of example # 2, would example #2 become a field cultivator to you? I think this is where the regional variations some in to play. Around here the widest sweep you see would be 10" and that is unusual. We would not consider putting a sweep on a chisel plow. A chisel plow would have straight points or a 3" or 4" twisted moldboard.I think the main differences are shank size and spacing. And then we get to adding stuff like disks and levelers edit: Yeah, I just realized the first leveling shank is broken in this photo. This tool actually has cutter disks in front followed by 5 deep ripping shanks (you can just see one behind the tire), shanks with 4" moldboards, and leveling shanks with sweeps. When I bought it there was a Buster Bar behind all that, but it didn't do much good so I removed it.

How do you define "chisel plow"?
