Do you mean chisel plow?

This is like a very heavy duty field cultivator, but does the heavy tillage of a regular plow. It goes about as deep as a plow, and rips up the ground. It leaves more crop residue on the surface, decreasing erosion, and uses less hp per acre.

If I am correct the term chilled means the extreme heating and then extreme cooling of the steel used in the process of hardening the steel for plow shares landsides shins and moldboards.

Yes, I believe R Wyler is correct, a regular process now to harden steel. First used by Oliver to harden their plow shears and moldboards.

Yes that is what I have read also that James Oliver was one of the pioneers in the chilled hardening process they say that he was the first to use this process. I am sure You have heard of the Oliver chilled plows. Thanks for the reply.

The Chilled plows were made of cast iron and were economical. Oliver, John Deere, and perhaps others made them. They were good in highly abrasive conditions but did not scour well in clay I never saw a tractor plow other than just the shares of cast iron. The Olover has a combination shae and shin and the moldboard was also cast iron

Murray is right about the "chilled plow" being made of cast iron. I'm not sure who invented the term but it maybe sounded a little better than just saying cast iron.

The old-timers in my area always said the cast-iron tractor-drawn plows broke too easy in our stony soil. I saw an old JD-Syracuse two-way horse plow on auction a couple of years ago that had cast iron moldboards on it (sat in a barn for 70 years). Horses, I suppose, don't pull fast enough to break cast plow parts when they snag something.
