The frame itself is just regular steel. The chisel points are hardened. You can buy them by the piece maybe $10-20 each last time I bought some.

If you hit up some farm auctions you could probably buy an old chisel plow cheaper than you could build one. I bought a 19' chisel plow and cut it in half. Made an 11' unit I use and an 8' unit I sold for what I paid for the whole thing.

There is a ton of farm equipment out there that is too small for modern commercial farmers to use and yet too big for the compact tractor owner. If you are handy with the welder it can be bought cheap and adapted.

normally there is larger auctions, a couple times a year, 1 spring, 1 fall. (depends on area), were there are huge lots of tractors and implements. co-assignment acutions

ebay.com you may find actual points, but not entire implement cheaply.

This has been a big thing for guys around here over the last few years, it's really drove the prices up on that size equipment. They buy it, cut it up into compact , " Food Plot " sizes and price it for tree times what it's worth.
