History
Jeff Sberna of Bellevue, Ohio was looking for a chisel plow that was able to get deep into the ground while using the limited horsepower he had available. He had an Oliver 1855 and was not able to get the depth he wanted; he couldn't get his chisel plow into the ground and if he was able to get it in the ground, he couldn't pull it. This is how the search for an affordable chisel plow that operated on low horse power usage began.
​
After looking around the area agricultural equipment junkyards and different retired implements, Jeff decided to start building his own chisel. This is how the Chisel Ripper started to come together.
