PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traction unit for ill-drained paddy field, solving the problem that a boat sliding on a lotus root field under traction becomes difficult to slide due to the accumulation of obstacles such as stems on its tip and also its size is limited for the purpose of carrying lotus roots and its stability is poor.SOLUTION: The traction unit has the following construction and mechanism. A fertilizer spreader 16 is loaded on a frame assembly 5 with multiple floats 61-64 unitedly joined through frame components 22 and 23. For the outside floats 61 and 64, the space therebetween can be adjusted by varying the fitting position of the frame component 23 by a fixing pin 46. The tip of each of the floats is furnished with a projectedly pointed guide component 25.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】牽引されて蓮根田を滑走する田舟では、茎等の障害物が先端に堆積して滑走困難となり、また運搬のため大きさが制限され、安定性が充分でない。【解決手段】複数のフロート61~64をフレーム部材22,23で一体に連結したフレーム集合体5に肥料散布装置16を搭載する。外側のフロート61,64は、固定ピン46によりフレーム部材23の取付位置が変更されて、間隔L2が調節される。各フロートの先端に突尖状のガイド部材25が設けられる。【選択図】図3
