PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a planting part for a rice transplanter equipped with an extension seedling stand having sufficient rigidity and excellent durability while controlling a manufacturing cost.SOLUTION: This planting part comprises a seedling placing stand and the extension seedling stand for raising the height of the seedling placing stand. The extension seedling stand is constituted of a placement part for placing seedlings and at least two reinforcement ribs for reinforcing the placement part at its back. A fixing part for fixing the extension seedling stand to the seedling placing stand is made into a shape for bringing the reinforcement ribs into contact with the top part of the seedling placing stand and a receiving part projecting from the top part to the back side is formed. Further, the top shape of the seedling placing stand is a circular shape having &ge60° central angle and the fixing part of the extension seedling stand has the length of a circular arc equal to or longer than the length of the circular shape.COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO【課題】 製造コストを抑制しながら、十分な剛性を持ち、耐久性に優れた延長苗台を備えた田植機の植付部を提供すること。【解決手段】 植付部が、苗載台と、該苗載台の高さを延長する延長苗台とを含み、該延長苗台が苗を載置する載置部と、該載置部をその背面で補強する少なくとも2個の補強リブとを有する構成であって、延長苗台を苗載台に取り付ける取付部位が、補強リブを苗載台の上端部と当接する形状にすると共に、該上端部から背面側へ突出する受部を形成する。さらに、前記苗載台の上端形状が中心角約60度以上の円弧形状であって、前記延長苗台の取付部位が該円弧形状の長さ以上の円弧長を有する構成でもよい。
