Will a wc cultivate 30 inch rows, will the cultivator go that narrow?

I had a bitch of a time getting my 45 to want to go down 30" rows. I'd imagine a WC would be similar. I don't imagine 30" rows existed back then.

I gave up and used the G.

A standard row crop cultivator won't. You would need one like they used in sugar beets. Not sure if you've seen one. They are narrowed down. My family had one back in the thirties when we grew beets. Our WC had the offset (dished) rear steel wheels to narrow the tractor down. The funny thing was my family used the WC ONLY to cultivate beets. When we stopped growing them, the tractor was history.
