SEEDLING TRANSPLANTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that, a conventional seedling-feeding device is arranged in body lateral direction perpendicular to the travelling direction, and rear end of right and left covering soil-pressing rolls are arranged at further backward of the machine body than the seedling-feeding device, consequently the right and left covering soil-pressing rolls becomes at the side of an operator feeding seedlings into each seedling-receiving cup of a seedling-feeding device while walking at the rear side of the machine body of the seedling-feeding device, and the operation space of the operator becomes narrow, resulting in a problem in seedling-feeding work. SOLUTION: The seedling transplanter equipped with the seedling-feeding device 7 formed by connecting many seedling-receiving cups 7c to the machine body traveling by driving wheels 5, a transplanting tool 11 for transplanting the seedlings by receiving the seedlings from the seedling-feeding device 7, and the right and left covering soil-pressing rolls 8R and 8L carrying out the covering soil-pressing actions, is constituted by arranging the seedling-feeding device 7 in a front and rear-tilted state in which right or left one side may be positioned at the front side of the machine body and the other side may be positioned at the rear side of the machine body in the plan view, and the rear ends of the right and left covering soil-pressing rolls 8R and 8L may be positioned at the front side of the machine body from the rear end of the seedling-feeding device 7.
