PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a potato-planting machine which can board a worker on a machine frame on a potato-planting work, lightly travel in an area narrower than those for the conventional potato seedling-planting machines, and plant the potatoes, while the conventional potato seedling-planting machines each has a belt conveyer in the lateral center of the machine frame in the longitudinal direction, wholly has a narrow lateral width, and can often not work in a narrow green house, because a worker operates a steering handle disposed on the lateral side of the belt conveyer and simultaneously plants the potatoes in a state that the machine frame and the worker laterally spread on the work.SOLUTION: This potato-planting machine is such that by disposing a belt conveyer 17 for conveying potatoes to a rear planting member 4 located above the front wheels 7 of the machine frame 2, which is supported on front wheels 7 and the rear wheels 6, and has disposed a seat 16 on which the worker supplying the potatoes on the conveyer belt 17 boards.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の芋類の植付機は、ベルトコンベアが機体の左右中央で前後方向に配置されているために、全体の構成は左右幅が狭いものになっているが、ベルトコンベアの側部に設けた操縦ハンドルを操作しながら芋類の植付作業を行うために、作業時には機体と作業者が横に広がった状態になり、狭いハウス内での作業が困難な場合がある。 そこで、本発明では、芋類の植付作業時に作業者が機体上に搭乗することで、従来よりも狭い範囲を軽快に走行しながら植付作業が行える芋類の植付機を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】前輪7と後輪6で支持された機体2の後輪7上方に後方の植付体4へ向けて芋類を搬送するコンベアベルト17を配設すると共に、このコンベアベルト17の上側に芋類を供給する作業者が搭乗する座席16を配置した芋類の植付機とする。【選択図】図1
