PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a sufficient interval between seedlings planted with a right and a left transplanting claws in a transplanter.SOLUTION: The transplanter is equipped with a pair of right and left transplanting claws 21R and 21L for planting the seedlings fed from a seedling feeding part 7 onto a field surface and a right and a left driving mechanisms 30 and 30 for driving each of the transplanting claws 21R and 21L. The transplanter is designed to transmit power from an engine 30 to be a driving source through one driving shaft 65 for planting to each of the driving mechanisms 30 and drive the right and the left transplanting claws 21R and 21L. In the transplanter, power engaging and disengaging means 72 and 72 corresponding to the driving mechanisms 30 and 30 of each of the transplanting claws 21R and 21L are provided on both sides of the driving shaft 65 for planting, herein an extension shaft 65a.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】左右の移植爪により植え付けられた苗と苗との間に十分な間隔を確保できるようにする。【解決手段】苗供給部7から供給される苗を圃場面に植え付ける左右一対の移植爪21L・21Rと、各移植爪21L・21Rを駆動する左右の駆動機構30・30とを備え、各駆動機構30に駆動源となるエンジン3からの動力を一本の植付用駆動軸65を介して伝達して、左右の移植爪21L・21Rを駆動する移植機において、前記植付用駆動軸65、ここでは延長軸65aの両側に、各移植爪21L・21Rの駆動機構30・30に対応する動力断接手段72・72を設けた。【選択図】図6
