PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sulky rice transplanter capable of favorably securing ground leveling accuracy of a leveling device by appropriately adjusting and controlling a vertical position of the leveling device on the basis of height (rice field surface height) from a rice field surface having no relation to a float sinkage amount to a prescribed portion of a planting part.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 to an input side and connects vertical position adjustment means to an output side. The control means acquires a detection value detected by the rice field height detection means, controls the vertical position adjustment means on the basis of the detection value, and adjusts the leveling ground height of the leveling device.
