PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanter capable of performing favorable transplanting work by suitably feeding seedlings from a seedling feeding device to a planting device, while the conventional transplanter has problem in stably feeding seedlings to a planting device due to conditions such as the kind of seedlings and a jam because the seedlings are supplied by free drop from the seedling feeding device to the planting device.SOLUTION: In the transplanter, a machine body provided with a traveling device 2 driven by a motor 9, is mounted with the planting device 5 moved up and down to transplant seedlings into a field, and the seedling feeding device 4 provided with seedling feeding cups 40 for feeding the seedlings to the planting device 5 by dropping the stored seedlings downward. The transplanter is further provided with a pneumatic transport device 100 for dropping the seedlings stored in the seedling feeding cups 40 downward by air pressure.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の移植機は、苗供給装置から苗を植付装置に自由落下して供給する構成であり、苗の種類や詰まり等の条件によっては苗を植付装置に安定して供給すると謂う観点において課題があった。本発明は、苗供給装置から苗を適切に植付装置に供給して良好な移植作業が行なえる移植機を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】原動機9にて駆動される走行装置2を設けた機体に上下作動して圃場に苗を移植する植付装置5と収容した苗を下側に落下させて植付装置5に苗を供給する苗供給カップ40を設けた苗供給装置4を装備した移植機において、苗供給カップ40に収容した苗を風圧により下方に落下させる空気搬送装置100を設けた移植機。【選択図】図1
