PUDDLING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a puddling apparatus in which conventional soil puddling operation and soil ridging operation can separately be carried out and soil ridging, soil puddling and soil leveling operations are simultaneously carried out at a low cost. SOLUTION: The puddling apparatus has a first leveling body 3 installed behind a soil-crushing operation part 1 and provided rotatably to the vertical direction on a machine frame body 2 and a second leveling body 4 rotatably installed behind the first leveling body 3. In the puddling apparatus, the first leveling body 3 is equipped with a rear cover 30, a soil ridging and leveling plate 31, a soil discharging opening 32 and cover 33 for soil discharging opening and the rotating amount of the first leveling body 3 to the upper direction is regulated by regulating rotation of a link body connecting the upper surface of the first leveling body 3 to the machine frame body by an upper limit-regulating apparatus 35 and the soil ridging operation of a protruded part not lower than definite height is carried out simultaneously with the soil puddling operation by the first leveling body 3 and when the soil ridging amount becomes a definite amount or above, mud is made to flow from the soil discharging opening 32.
