The surface of the area for the mound is then roughened up with a chisel plough.

Cultivators are often similar in form to chisel ploughs, but their goals are different.

Either a mouldboard plough or a chisel plough will be used for this operation.

The chisel plough is a common tool to get deep tillage (prepared land) with limited soil disruption.

A chisel plough consists of many narrow chisels, intended to rip the soil without turning it.

Chisel ploughs are heavy rigid- or spring-tined cultivators which break up and stir the topsoil.

Sometime in 1892 he designed and created the chisel plough for land tilling in order to prevent or defeat hardpanning.

Spring-tined cultivators with tines at about six-inch spacing, are much lighter than chisel ploughs.

If the applied material can be incorporated with a moldboard or chisel plough, the depth of snow or ice should be irrelevant.

Alternatively you can cultivate the soil by ripping or using a chisel plough for large areas, or a fork for small areas.

At the other end, an eye was put on the rope and threaded through onto the drum hook, while a tractor with a large chisel plough was attached to the rope with a swivel shackle.

For example, the chisel plough leaves more crop residues on the soil surface than the moldboard plough, providing more protection against wind and water erosion; however, the chisel plough can move soil over a much greater distance and cause more tillage erosion.
