To provide a sulky type rice transplanter for performing proper planting work.SOLUTION: A sulky type rice transplanter has a seedling planting device 5 in a manner of capable of being lifted up on a rear side of a machine body, and comprises: a planting clutch for transmitting and cutting off power to the seedling planting device 5； and travel distance detection means for detecting a travel distance of the machine body. When a first planting step is finished, before starting a second planting step which is a next planting step of the first planting step through a first half straight advance step, a turning step following to the first half straight advance step, and a second half straight advance step following to the turning step, following to the finish of the turning step, when a travel distance of the machine body detected by the travel distance detection means in the second half straight advance step reaches a travel distance in the first half straight advance step, the planting clutch in a cut-off state is operated automatically to a transmission state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7【課題】適切に植付け作業を行う乗用型田植機を提供する。【解決手段】機体の後部に昇降自在に苗植付装置５を備えて、前記苗植付装置５に動力を伝動及び遮断する植付クラッチと、機体の走行距離を検出する走行距離検出手段とを備え、第１植付行程の終了の際に、前半の直進行程と前記前半の直進行程に続く旋回行程と前記旋回行程に続く後半の直進行程を含む行程を経て前記第１植付行程の次の植付行程である第２植付行程に入る際に、前記旋回行程の終了に伴って、前記後半の直進行程において前記走行距離検出手段により検出される機体の走行距離が、前記前半の直進行程における走行距離に達すると、遮断状態の前記植付クラッチが自動的に伝動状態に操作されるように構成されている。【選択図】図７
