PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rationally constitute a sulky rice transplanter which can move a seedling placing table to an end part of a movement region when a worker needs it.SOLUTION: A sulky rice transplanter comprises: a seedling planting apparatus B having a seedling placing table which reciprocates in left and right directions a planting clutch C which intermits a drive force to the seedling planting apparatus B a link mechanism which supports the seedling planting apparatus B so as to be liftable and a hydraulic cylinder 4 which lifts the link mechanism. The sulky rice transplanter also comprises an operation implement 11 which is manually operated. The hydraulic cylinder 4 is operated by the operation of the operation implement 11 so that the seedling planting apparatus B is lifted to a preset position, the seedling placing table is operated by turning on the planting clutch C, and stop control means 75 is arranged which stops the seedling placing table at a work end by turning off the planting clutch C when the seedling placing table reaches the work end of a reciprocation motion.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12
