The utility model provides a walking type rice transplanter, which is used for improving the operability and the safety, improving the walking performance and the transplanting performance and reducing the cost. The walking type rice transplanter is formed as follows: motive powder is transmitted to rice seedling planting devices (10) on left and right center rows by transmission parts (112) for planting on left and right centers, transmitted to the rice seedling planting device on each row at left and right outermost sides by the transmission parts (112) for planting at the left and the right outermost sides, and transmitted to a left-right moving mechanism (116) for moving a rice seedling carrying table (11) leftwards and rightwards by a left-right moving transmission part (115) from a transmission shaft (108) the planting transmission shaft and the left-right moving transmission part are arranged at the positions which are closer to the transmission parts for planting on left and right centers than the transmission parts for planting at the left and the right outermost sides in the transverse direction, and separately arranged at the left and the right sides of the transmission parts for planting at the left and the right centers and a safety clutch (106) for switching off transmission due to overload is arranged on the transmission shaft for planting.
