I think I started growing Enlish Peas in 1970. I cultivated with a  
single row cultivator and single horse. Nothing does a better job of  
cultivating peas.

Old Maude only would go about 50 feet and want to stop for a while. I  
traded her to a guy who liked horses better than tractors for an AC  
Model M.

Later I found a 4 row cultivator made to be pulled with a team. It had  
2 wheels that the rider could steer with a foot treadle. I set up the  
planter for 26" rows. The wide gauge D2 fit the rows perfectly. My son  
would ride the cultivator. We ran the rows up and down the hills. We  
could cover a lot of acres in a hurry with that rig in 3rd gear.
