PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter, preventing breakage of a ground leveling device 27 and an elevating link mechanism 3, and also improving the durability of constituent members.SOLUTION: When a seedling tank 51 is operated to rise, a ground leveling rotor vertical motion mechanism R is operated so that the ground leveling device 27 rises as a whole. In this state, the ground leveling device 27 is put in the attitude of lowering forward by the weight of a center ground leveling rotor 27b to prevent the load from being applied to the ground leveling device 27 and the elevating link mechanism 3. Thus, the breakage of the ground leveling device 27, the elevating link mechanism 3 and so on can be prevented, and the durability of the constituent members is improved.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】整地装置27や昇降リンク機構3などの破損を防止すると共に構成部材の耐久性を向上させた苗移植機を提供することである。【解決手段】苗タンク51を上昇操作すると整地ロータ上下動機構Rが作動し、整地装置27が全体に上昇するが、中央整地ロータ27bの重量で整地装置27は前下がり姿勢になり、整地装置27や昇降リンク機構3などに負荷がかかることを防止できるので、整地装置27や昇降リンク機構3などの破損が防止されると共に、構成部材の耐久性が向上する。【選択図】図5
