PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter which deeply plants tendrils of seedlings to be planted into soil by surely gripping the tendrils by a seedling gripper, and can surely plant the seedlings into ridges from above a multi-film even if the multi-film is laid over the ridges.SOLUTION: In a seedling transplanter having a seedling planting device 6 which plants seedlings of a seedling transfer part by inserting the seedlings into ridges by gripping the seedlings by a lifting seedling planting gripper 31 to a machine body which travels by a traveling device, an opposing interval of a gripping part 31b of the seedling planting gripper 31 is made narrow as progressing toward a tip in a gripped state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、植え付ける苗の蔓を苗植付け挟持具で確実に挟持して土中に深く植え付けると共に、畝にマルチフィルムを敷設した場合にもマルチフィルム上から苗を畝に差し込んで確実に植え付けられる苗移植機とすることが課題である。【解決手段】走行装置で走行する機体に苗搬送部の苗を昇降する苗植付け挟持具31で挟持して畝に差し込んで植え付ける苗植付け装置6を設けた苗移植機において、苗植付け挟持具31の挟持部31bの対向間隔を、挟持状態で先端に向かって狭くなるようにしたことを特徴とする苗移植機とする。【選択図】図8
