PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter capable of eliminating a field region in which no seedling is planted when planting of seedlings is started after reversing.SOLUTION: The seedling transplanter includes: a planting device 3 in the rear of a travelling vehicle 1 a gear shifting lever 17 a planting operation lever 26 for shifting the gear to planting speed, neutral speed or moving speed and a work shifter 56 for shifting the gear to the moving speed, neutral speed or planting speed according to the operation of the planting operation lever 26. The seedling transplanter also includes: a vertical movement sensor 48 for detecting the rising or lowering of the seedling planting device 3 a sensor 50 for detecting the operational position of the planting operation lever 26 a sensor 52 for detecting that the gear shifting lever 17 is at an advancing position or at a reversing position and a shifting motor 57 for shifting the operation shifter 56 for operating a planter 41 to a neutral state when a control device 100 detects that the seedling planting device 3 is in a rising state and the vehicle 1 is reversing based on the signal of the sensor 52. With this structure, seedlings can be quickly planted when the vehicle advances, and a worker does not have to manually re-plant seedlings in places where planting of seedlings is missed, and as a result, labors of the worker can be relieved.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】後進した後で苗の植付を開始する場合に、苗が植えられていない圃場領域をなくした苗移植機を提供すること。【解決手段】走行車両1の後部の苗植付装置3と変速操作レバー17と植付速、中立速及び移動速に切替操作する植付操作レバー26と植付操作レバー26の操作に従って移動速、中立速と植付速にそれぞれ切り替える作業シフタ56を設け、苗植付装置3の上昇または下降を検出する上下動センサ48と植付操作レバー26の操作位置を検出するセンサ50と変速操作レバー17が前進位置または後進位置にあることを検出するセンサ52の信号により制御装置100が苗植付装置3の上昇状態でかつ車両1が後進中であることを検知すると植付具41を作動させる作業シフタ56を中立状態に切り替える切替モータ57を設け、前進時に苗の植付を速やかに行うことがきるので、苗を植え付け損なった箇所に手作業で苗を植え直す必要がなくなり、作業者の労力が軽減される。【選択図】図5
