PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve ditch digging capacity while improving operability in ridging work or ditch digging work in a tiller in which operating handles are constituted to be longitudinally reversible and reversed to locate grip parts on the rear side of a machine body during normal tilling work and to locate the grip parts on the front side of the machine body during ridging or ditch digging work.SOLUTION: This walking type tiller includes traveling wheels (4), tilling claws (5) and the operating handles (8). The tilling claws (5) are arranged on the rear side of the traveling wheels (4). Base parts (13) of the operating handles (8) are constituted to be longitudinally turnable around vertical axis so that the grip parts (11) of the operating handles (8) can be reversed onto the rear side or front side of the machine body. The base part mounting positions of the operating handles (8) are movable onto the tilling claw (5) side when the grip parts (11) of the operating handles (8) are located on the front side of the machine body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】操作ハンドルを前後方向に反転可能に構成し、通常の耕耘作業時には機体後側に把持部を位置させ、畝立て作業あるいは溝堀作業時は機体前側に位置するよう反転する耕耘機において、畝立て作業時あるいは溝堀作業時の操作性を良好にしながら溝堀能力を向上させること課題とする。【解決手段】走行車輪(4)と、耕耘爪(5)と、操作ハンドル(8)を備えた歩行型耕耘機において、走行車輪(4)の後側に耕耘爪(5)を配置し、操作ハンドル(8)の把持部(11)を機体後側又は機体前側に反転可能にすべく操作ハンドル(8)の基部(13)を縦軸心周りに前後方向に回動可能に構成し、操作ハンドル(8)の把持部(11)が機体前側に位置するときに、操作ハンドル(8)の基部の取付位置を耕耘爪(5)側に移動可能に構成したことを特徴とする。【選択図】 図3
