PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanter that can easily perform the turning work of a machine body in a good efficiently, improve its working performance and workability and perform good seedling-transplanting work, since in conventional transplanters, there are problems in workability such that when the machine body is turned by descending right and left driving rear wheels to elevate the machine body, it is difficult for an operator to push a steering handle down in the lower direction for elevating the front part of the machine body, because the right and left driving wheels are each at the lower directional position of the steering handle to require much labor for the turning work.SOLUTION: This transplanter mounting a seedling-transplanting part I at the front part of the machine body installed with traveling devices 7, 6 at the front side and rear side respectively by a machine body side view, and installing the steering handle 2 at the rear part of the machine body is provided by at least setting the front side traveling device as the driving for traveling device 7, and constituting the rear side traveling device 6 as can freely switching as a traveling state of contacting with ground and a housed state of housing the same in the upper direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の移植機は、左右駆動後輪を下降させて機体を上昇して機体を旋回させる際に、作業者は操縦ハンドルの下方位置に左右駆動後輪がある為に、操縦ハンドルを下方に押して機体の前部を上昇させることが困難であり、旋回作業に多大な労力が必要となり作業性に課題があった。本発明は、機体旋回作業が効率良く且つ容易に行なえて、作業性能及び作業性を向上し良好な苗移植作業が行なえる移植機を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】機体側面視で前側と後側に各々走行装置7・6を設けた機体の前部に苗移植部Iを装着し、機体の後部に操縦ハンドル2を装着した移植機において、少なくとも前側の走行装置を駆動走行装置7とし、後側の走行装置6を接地走行状態と上方に収納した収納状態に切替え自在に構成した移植機。【選択図】図1
