VEGETABLE TRANSPLANTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problems: in a conventional vegetable transplanter, a machine body becomes large, as a seedling-putting stand protrudes outward of the machine body, as structural bodies make trouble when the seedling-putting stands move through a narrow passage to cause contacts and the like, a large area is required for storing the transplanter, distribution expense becomes higher as the machine size is large during the distribution, and so forth. SOLUTION: The vegetable transplanter 101 is a walking type one, installed with a transplantation hole-opening device 151 having a pair of front claws 128 and a pair of rear claws 129 to be movable upward and downward and the transplantation hole-opening device 151 functions to hold seedlings in a closed state and let the seedlings fall down in an open state. The seedling-putting stands 81L, 81R for putting seedling trays are brought to be rotatable toward over a handle frame 106 from the front position of an operator 102 in a planer view of the machine body.
