Q. How deep is the chisel plough?

Answer

Chiselling is normally done in the autumn, and then, in the spring, it is followed by secondary tillage. Chisels are often set to a depth of between 8 and 12 inches, with the maximum depth being 18 inches. Chisel ploughs are used to create a rough surface while also leaving between about 50 and 70 per cent of the current maize or grain residues on the soil surface while they operate. In most cases, the distance between each of the separate shanks is anywhere between 9 and 12 inches.
