PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter capable of changing an inclination angle (or a seedling angle) of vines in a field in accordance with kinds of a vine seedling and habit farming method of each region.SOLUTION: A seedling transplanter comprises: a travel device 1 having a handle frame 2b for causing a planter to run by itself a seedling conveyance portion 3 mounted on the travel device 1 for conveying vine seedling to be planted, and a seedling planter for receiving the vine seedling from the seedling conveyance portion 3 and for holding and planting the vine seedling on a field. The seedling planter includes: a support portion 4b and an operation portion 4a disposed at a leading end of the support portion 4b. The seedling planter moves down while clamping the vine seedling at the operation portion 4a, and plunges into the soil of the field. After this, the seedling planter moves in a direction along a planter advancing direction, and releases the clamping of the seedling after the planter moved in the direction by a preset distance. After this, the seedling planter ascends to come out from the soil. An irrigation passage is formed in the support portion 4b, and a draining passage for discharging the water to flow therein is formed in the leading end of the support portion 4b near the operation portion 4a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明の課題は、つる苗の種類や各地方の慣行農法に応じて圃場におけるつるの寝かす角度(植付角度)を変更することができる苗移植機を提供することである。【解決手段】 機体を自走させるハンドルフレーム2bを有する走行装置1と、該走行装置1上に植付用のつる状の苗を搬送する苗搬送部3と、該苗搬送部3からつる状の苗を受け取り、つる状の苗を保持して圃場に植え付ける苗植付体を設けた苗移植機において、前記苗植付体は、支持部4bとその先端部に設けた作用部4aからなり、該作用部4aでつる状苗を挟持して下降して圃場の土中に突入した後、機体進行方向に沿う方向に移動し、該方向へ設定距離移動した後に苗の挟持を解いて上昇して土中から抜け出すよう動作する構成とし、前記支持部4bの内部には灌水用の流路を設け、該流路を流れる水を排出する水放出用開口を作用部4a近傍の支持部4bの先端に設けた。【選択図】 図1
