CO, NE
Around there, the first picture would be called "sweeps". We run them pretty shallow, and they are mainly for weed control, not for pulling up the ground. The points would probably be a bit wider here too. You don't need a huge amount of HP to pull them. I pull 20' with a MF 3545 (125HP).

The second picture would just be a "chisel", you run them as deep as you want, and they're mainly for breaking up a hardpan. The deeper they run, the more HP they need. I pull a 16' with that same tractor, but there are fewer shanks per foot than the sweeps.
