PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transplanter simplifying a mechanism for freely liftably and lowerably supporting a planting body and taking thrusting of the planting body in a good posture into a ridge into consideration even if the mechanism is simplified in the transplanter designed to freely liftably and lowerably support each planting body on a traveling machine body traveling striding over a ridge, feed a seedling to the planting body at a position for receiving the seedling in the upper part, then lower the planting body, thrust the planting body into the ridge and plant the seedling. SOLUTION: The transplanter is designed to control the thrusting posture of the planting body 37 into the ridge by moving the lower end side of the planting body 37 to the rear relatively to the upper part when the planting body 37 is mounted on the other end side of a parallel link 38 having the one end side pivoted on a support 48 fixed to the traveling machine body and thrusted into the ridge by shaking the parallel link 38 downward.
