PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a riding paddy weeder that is lightweight and easy to handle and transport. SOLUTION: A weeding part 5 having a weeding device 10, a propulsion part 6 having drive wheels 61, a front body 2 having a steering wheel 70 for steering the propulsion direction, a seat 8 and a rear wheel 9. Since the front vehicle body 2 and the rear vehicle body 3 are provided with the rear vehicle body 3 and the connecting portion 4 that pivotally supports the front vehicle body 2 and the rear vehicle body 3 in a steerable manner, the front vehicle body 2 can be separated. The handle 70 provided directly carries out the operation directly, so that a lightweight and simple structure can be realized. Therefore, the weeds can be weeded with a small amount of labor by riding, and are lightweight and easy to handle and transport.
