PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter by which seedling transplanting starting position can be arranged at a proper position after turning.SOLUTION: An automatically lifting/lowering mechanism A automatically lifting a planting part 52 when turning and going rearward and lowering the planting part 52 when going forward, a planting lifting/lowering lever 33 carrying out the turning on/off operation the lifting/lowering operation and the seedling planting operation of the planting part 52, and a control unit 200 controlling so as not to operate the automatically lifting/lowering mechanism A when a rotation frequency when going rearward detected by a rear wheel rotation sensor 182 exceeds a reference turning frequency set in advance when going rearward while lifting the planting part 52 are arranged in the seedling trans planter, thereby the seedling planting starting position after turning can be arranged at a proper position and the planting accuracy of seedlings is enhanced compared in conventional one because an operator can lower the planting part 52 by manually operating the planting lifting/lowering lever 33 when restarting the planting of seedlings by lowering the planting part 52 after turning.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】旋回後に苗の植付開始位置を適切な位置に揃えることができる苗移植機を提供すること。【解決手段】苗移植機に、旋回時又は後進時には植付部52を自動的に上昇させ、前進時には植付部52を下降させる自動昇降機構Aと、植付部52の昇降動作及び苗植付動作の入切動作を行う植付昇降レバー33と、植付部52を上昇させた状態で後進させると後輪回転センサ182により検知される後進時の回転数が予め設定された基準回転数を上回ると自動昇降機構Aを作動させない制御構成とする制御装置200を設けたので、旋回後に植付部52を下降させて苗の植え付けを再開する際に、作業者は植付昇降レバー33を手動操作して植付部52を下降させることができるので、旋回後の苗の植付開始位置を適切な位置に揃えられ、苗の植付精度が従来より向上する。【選択図】図17
