PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking cultivator capable of carrying out ridge-making work with good finish with a simple structure.SOLUTION: The walking cultivator includes a travel machine (1) which has a steering handle (4) extended backward as well as is equipped with a tilling rotor (16). A ridger (20) equipped with a forming board formed of a rubber plate is provided in a state so that the upper end part is supported on the side of the travel machine body and hanging at a position behind a tilling rotor (16). A rod (13) which carries out a supporting action so as to maintain the forming board in a ridgelike action attitude against opposing force pressing side surfaces of the ridge is provided at the central part of the forming board in width direction of the forming board by contacting from the rear side of the forming board. On both the ends of the forming board in the width direction, side end sides which foldingly and elastically deform backward to sites supported by the travelling machine body by the opposing force pressing the side surfaces of the ridge are provided over the vetical directions of the forming board.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】仕上がりがよい培土作業を簡単な構造で行える歩行型管理機を得る。【解決手段】操縦ハンドル(4)が後方向きに延出されるとともに耕起ロータ(16)が装備された走行機体(1)を備えてある。ゴム板から成る成形板を備えた培土器(20)を、走行機体側に上端部が支持されて耕起ロータ(16)の後方位置で垂れ下がる状態で設けてある。成形板を、畝側面を押圧する反力に抗して畝成形作用姿勢に維持するように、成形板の成形板横幅方向での中央部に成形板の後面側から当接して支持作用する棒(13)を設けてある。成形板の横幅方向での両側部に、走行機体側に支持される部位に対して、畝側面を押圧する接地反力によって後向きに屈曲弾性変形する側端辺を成形板上下方向にわたって設けてある。【選択図】図1
