If I am understanding you corectly it is just a plain chisel plow (could be either a 3 point hitch or trail type) and they have a 12" shank spacing and unloss you have your cornstalks chopped off you will never get thru them. And 11 shanks would be 11' wide. Now if you are talking about a disk chisel that is something entirely different, they are set with a 15" shank spacing and a 11 shank would be 15' and that is what is used all the time in cornstalks as besides the blades to cut thru the stalks they have twice as much clearance as a chisel plow. For a plain chisel the minumem HP per shank was called for of 10 HP but that was at only about 7" deep and slow, double that and you would be about right, now on a disk chisel double that again to get what you need, a 7 shank disk chisel will make a 150 HP tractor bark and they cut about 9'. I had a 7 shank 3 point hitch Ford on a Ford 5000 and it would barley handle it, 5 on it was a lot better. But it would only work in non trash fields, if I had kept it I would have mounted a plow coulter in front of each shank to cut minor trash like in a bean field, no way it would have ever gone thru corn stalks.
