Back in the day... dad and I used both a front mount four row and a rear mount four row in either 36 or 38 inch rows. The front mount had the flat shields with half mounted to the gang on either side of the row. The rear mount had rolling shields, I think made by Dakon, that mounted on the tool bar and had a light chain that held up the rear of the arm the shields were mounted to. Our cultivators had five sweeps between the rows with the half sweep closest to the row. Next was a whole sweep that was like a half sweep with both wings. The point of that sweep was just outside the wing of the half sweep. The fifth sweep was larger, perhaps 8 or 10 inches wide. The half sweeps were maybe 4-5 inches wide and the middle ones 6 or so. Its been too long. I believe some of the newer cultivators for 30 inch rows only use three sweeps per row but they are all fairly wide to overlap and run pretty flat to throw less soil.
