Sunnyside, WA
Chisel plows have heavy shanks spaced at at least 12". Field cultivators are spaced at 6-9". I will put 2" spikes on the top picture. Then can we call it a chisel plow? This Calkins chisel plow will run 8" deep behind my JD 9520. With 2-3" points it will go 12" deep. Show me a field cultivator that will go that deep amd hold up.

Pictures don't do justice to how much heavier a chisel plow is compared to a field cultivator. I grew up in the Midwest. Anything was a chisel plow, even though most should have been called disc chisel, or disc ripper.
