Description

When you’re looking at a stubborn piece of ground that needs breaking up but you don’t want to completely turn the soil over, an 8-inch chisel plow sweep is your go-to tool. This low crown design cuts through tough sod and compacted soil while leaving crop residue on top—perfect for conservation tillage practices that protect your soil and save moisture.

What You’re Getting

8-inch working width that provides good soil fracturing without excessive power requirements
Low crown profile that lifts and loosens soil while preserving surface residue
50-degree shank angle engineered to penetrate hard ground and shed trash effectively
1/4-inch thickness built to handle rocks and root systems without bending
Standard 1/2-inch plow bolt holes on 2-1/4-inch centers for easy installation

Built for Primary Tillage Work

This sweep fits chisel plows used for deep primary tillage operations—breaking up compacted soil layers, incorporating fertilizer, and preparing seedbeds in corn and soybean country. The 50-degree angle works especially well in heavy clay soils and trashy conditions where you need aggressive penetration but controlled soil movement.

Made to Last

Manufactured by SMA, this sweep is built from quality steel that holds its edge and stands up to the rocks, roots, and hard ground that come with primary tillage work. The low crown design reduces wear on the leading edge while the proper thickness prevents premature bending or cracking.

Good to Know

This is a direct bolt-on replacement that uses standard plow bolts. If you’re switching from worn sweeps, check your shank for any damage or excessive wear while you’ve got the old sweep off. A quick tip—keep a couple spare sweeps on hand since rocks and hidden obstacles can take one out when you least expect it.
