A plow is designed to plow 1/2 of it's width - so 16" bottoms go 8 inches deep, 12 inch bottom would go 6 inches deep. Chisel plow you want to go deeper than the plow does, to break up that plow pan the plow created in your fields. So, 8-12 inches deep. I pulled a 10 shank chisel plow with 2" wide points with 85 hp. That was not enough hp, I was not happy with the results. Now I have 12 shanks with a 140 hp tractor, works much better. You want to have some speed with the chiesel plow, so the springs are working & shattering the soil. Drive fasted, go deeper, better chisel job. Can't do that if you are under-powered. You will do a better chisel job with 5-6 shanks. --->Paul
