I never chiseled sod, but in the mid 80's when I took over the family farm, I chiseled the entire farm. My dad had never chiseled, and he never even plowed over a couple inches deep. On plowing, he always said, "Just deep enough so it turns over". Needless to say, all of the fields were almost like sod.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
