PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weeding machine for weeding a space between seedling lines by weeders, capable of efficiently weeding both sides of seedlings and the space between seedlings without injuring the seedlings by weeding wheels, and capable of efficiently performing the weeding work with a reduced travelling load.SOLUTION: The weeding machine 1 includes weeders 23F and 23R for weeding the space between seedling lines, and seedling edge weeding parts 38 and 39 for weeding edges of seedlings disposed on the front side or rear side of a machine body. A pair of right and left weeding wheels 35 with elastic wire materials 42 projecting in the radial direction are disposed in the seedling edge weeding parts 38 and 39 in such a state as to be rotatably grounded on a field surface in seedling edges. With this structure, seedling edges are weeded by the rotating wire materials 42.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】田車によって苗の条間を除草し、除草輪によって苗を傷めることなく株元の両側及び株間の除草を効率よく行うと共に、走行負荷を低減した除草作業を能率よく行うことができる除草作業機を提供する。【解決手段】苗の条間を除草する田車23F,23Rと苗の株際を除草する株際除草部38,39とを、作業機体の前側又は後側に備えた除草作業機1であって、前記株際除草部38,39を、弾力性を有する線材42を放射方向に突設した左右一対の除草輪35を、株際の田面に接地回転可能に配設することにより、回転する線材42によって株際の除草を行うように構成した。【選択図】図1
