Unless you have a special order tractor with long axles 80" center to center is the max you can get on the rear wheels (for 40" rows). C and SC came stock with 80" center to center on the rear axles.
Again to set up the 2 row or more, do as the gentleman suggested and on level ground or concrete locate the center of the tractor and off set to each side 1/2 your row spacing or 18" for 36" rows. Set the inside shank and sweep or shovel on each side exactly the same relative to the center of the tractor. Once the inside shanks are set use a tape and measure from the row side wing of the left inside sweep to the row side wing of the right outside sweep (you can use the center of the shovel or sweep if you choose). Set the distance by measuring the row width or in your case 36". Do the same from the row side wing of the right inside sweep to the row side wing of the left outside sweep. If they are too close move the two inside shanks away from the row but remember when you adjust the outside shanks it will yield twice as much spacing as you moved the inside shanks. What ever you do the inside shanks have to be centered on the tractor. Measuring from the inside shanks with them centered will result in all the shanks being balanced and centered on the frame. This procedure can be used to set up as many rows as you have. Always measure from the tip of the wing (or center of the shovel or sweep) on the inside shank adding the row width for each added row to set the next row over. As long as the two inside shanks on the center rows are set up correctly and centered you can set the entire cultivator from those. Now if the planter was properly set up with the row widths exact and the units centered on the frame, you should be able to cultivate without plowing up corn or beans and follow the same track the planter power unit laid down. The better job you do setting up the planter and cultivator the easier it will be to cultivate without plowing up crop. FYI you never try to cultivate "over" the joint row middle or the middle between planter passes.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
