PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sulky rice transplanter capable of highly accurately controlling ground leveling height of a leveling device.SOLUTION: The sulky rice transplanter includes: rice field height detection means for detecting rice field height, or the height from a prescribed portion of a planting part to the rice field surface and control means that connects the rice field height detection means and ground leveling height fine-adjustment operation means to an input side and connects vertical position adjustment means to an output side. The control means acquires a detection value of the rice field height detected by the rice field height detection means, adds a ground leveling height fine-adjustment value set by the ground leveling height fine-adjustment operation means, to the detection value to calculate a corrected target value, controls the vertical position adjustment means based on the corrected target value, and adjusts the leveling ground height of the leveling device.
