PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mulch transplanter which can reliably prevent a situation of forgetting to cut a mulch sheet with a cutting device before a raising operation of a planting work machine after laying the mulch sheet on the surface of a field in a mulch transplanter which carries out planting work on a mulch sheet laid on the surface of a field.SOLUTION: A travel machine body 3 is provided with: a planting work machine 6 connected in a freely vertically moveable manner a roller body 7 which feeds out a mulch sheet so as to cover the surface of a field while the travel machine body 3 is travelling a cutting device 36 for cutting the mulch sheet detection means 37 for detecting the mulch sheet being fed out from the roller body 7 over the surface of the field an operation tool 17 for operating the vertical movement of the planting work machine 6 and a control unit 50. The configuration is such that the control unit 50 can carry out sheet cutting control for operating the cutting device 36 prior to the raising action of the planting work machine 6 if the raising operation of the planting work machine 6 by the operation tool 17 has been detected after the mulch sheet has been laid over the surface of the field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】圃場面に敷設したマルチシート上から植付作業を行うマルチ移植機において、圃場面にマルチシートを敷設した後、植付作業機を上昇作動させる前に、前記切断装置によるマルチシートの切断をし忘れる事態をより確実に防止できるマルチ移植機を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】走行機体3に昇降自在に連結された植付作業機6と、走行機体3の走行に伴って圃場面を覆うようにマルチシートを繰出すロール体7と、マルチシートを切断する切断装置36と、ロール体7からマルチシートが圃場面に繰出されていることを検出する検出手段37と、植付作業機6の昇降作動を操作する操作具17と、制御部50とを備え、該制御部50は、マルチシートを圃場面側に敷設した後に、前記操作具17による植付作業機6の上昇操作が検出された場合、該植付作業機6を上昇作動させる前に、前記切断装置36を作動させるシート切断制御が実行可能に構成された。【選択図】図8
