PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tilling working machine which prevents mud and dirt from penetrating a rear cover and does not reduce working efficiency. SOLUTION: Space portions 30b, 32b, 35b are formed by folding back a sheet metal material at a lower end portion of a rear cover 29 that covers the rear of the tilling claws 23, 23... Rotating around a tilling shaft 22. The gap member 41 is put in 35b so that at least the inlets of the spaces 30b, 32b, 35b are closed. The gap member 41 is made of a material whose specific gravity is smaller than the specific gravity of the lower end component member of the rear cover 29.
