The M&W Earthmaster V chisel is designed to fit on a tractor's
category II or 111 3-point hitch.
The M&W V-chisel bar design places the chisel shanks so they are
parallel to allow crop residue to flow between and around them.
The 36" tall parabolic design chisel shank allows for deep soil pene
tration to get under the hard plow sole - lifting, shattering and break
ing it up with the least amount of power required. This allows the
surface water to penetrate the soil faster and allows your fertilizer to
penetrate deeper into the soil, but most of all it allows your crop
roots to penetrate deeper into the soil to use valuable moisture and
fertilizer all season long, even during a dry season.
When the standard automatic trip shanks hit a rock or
obstruction they will automatically trip up and over the
obstruction and automatically go back into the ground
without stopping.
Chisel points are reversible. When one end wears, remove
the pin and turn the point around using the new end
