The FP series Multivator is designed for the medium to large grower, heavier soil conditons, and even some strip tilling applications.  One row FP models (two heads) are popular with market farm operations, due to the ease with which the heads can be moved on the toolbar to cultivate a wide variety of crops.  If you plant with a single row planter, then a single row Multivator is the best choice.
