PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking type work machine which can prevent a tillage rotor and a resistive body from contacting another object when not used.SOLUTION: A walking type work machine includes: an oscillation body 28 arranged at a rear part of a machine frame 1 so as to oscillate with a right/left oriented support shaft 27 as a fulcrum at a rear side of a tillage rotor 2 arranged at a lower part of the machine frame 1; a resistive body 30 and movement wheel 29 attached on the oscillation body 28 so as to contact the ground; and fixing means allowing the oscillation body 28 to be fixed and held in a work posture in which the resistive body 30 contacts the ground and a non-work posture in which the movement wheel 29 contacts the ground. The resistive body 30 and movement wheel 29 are arranged such that a ground contact part 30B of the resistive body 30 is positioned on a machine front side with respect to the movement wheel 29 in the non-work posture of the oscillation body 28.
