Typical chisel plow for 50+ hp tractor:
*Hoeme Chisel
Chromed Cap Chisel
*HS13CP Weight 6 lbs.

Bolted to:
Hoeme Shank G-9
1"X2"X22" Clearance (26" & 30" available)
Weight 21lbs.

Mounted on:
Here's a 3 point Hoeme plow with sweeps instead of chisels mounted on the
shanks

You can see the type of frame that would be needed for a 3 point Hoeme 3
shank chisel version;
just look at where the hitch components are mounted at the front; upper and
lower 4" toolbars with 2, 3 or 4 webs connecting them,
depending on number and spacing of the shanks. If you're doing individual
production beds with this you would want the maximum
spread on the shanks to be 16" to 24" less than the width of the bed being
plowed. The toolbar/3 point frame would be sized accordingly.
This implement serves as a combination tillage tool (spring-loaded toothed
field harrow) and subsoiler and is excellent for use in early Spring
tillage;
does a great job de-compacting soil 6-20" down; can be followed with
rototilling then hilling/bedding.
