The present invention provides a walking type electric cultivating machine capable of changing the condition of the machine between the cultivating condition and the moving condition without detaching and attaching the resistance rod and the traveling wheels, and changing the positions thereof and while having a simple structure. The walking type electric cultivating machine (1) of the invention includes a machine main body (50) that includes a support frame (5) extending in an up-and-down direction and an electrically-operated cultivating shaft unit (4) supported by the machine main body so as to be positioned downward than the machine main body and the cultivating machine being characterized of further including a resistance rod (7) supported by the support frame so as to be positioned rearward than the cultivating shaft unit and traveling wheels (6) supported by the machine main body so as to be positioned forward than the cultivating shaft unit and have a rotational-axis line positioned upper than a rotational-axis line of the cultivating shaft unit.
