SULKY-TYPE SEEDLING TRANSPLANTER ABD NURSERY BOX

To provide a sulky-type seedling transplanter and a nursery box which can easily and efficiently perform work for replenishing seedlings while solving a problem that work for scooping up seedling mats from the nursery box placed on a preliminary seedling placing table by using a seedling scoop-up plate is performed while holding out the seedling scoop-up plate on which the seedling mats which are scooped up by a worker toward the seedling placing table of a seedling planting part by carrying it by a single hand, and pressing the seedling mats by the other hand so that the seedling mats do not fall from the seedling placing table, however, the replenishment work should be performed in an unreasonable posture for the work, thus causing the deterioration of workability and the lowering of work efficiency.SOLUTION: In a seedling replenishment device 70, there are arranged a placing face 72a for placing a nursery box 1 constituted of a sidewall frame 2 and a bottom plate 3 which is withdrawal with respect to the sidewall frame 2, and a turning plate 72c which turns in a horizontal state horizontally energized at its lower part, and also turns in a backward inclination state by the weight of a seedling mat N placed thereon. A lower end part of the turning plate 72c in the backward inclination state is made to communicate with an upper part of a seedling placing part 51a of the seedling placing table 51.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14 【課題】苗掬い板にて予備苗載台に載置された育苗箱からマット状苗を掬い取って苗載台に補給する作業は、作業者が掬い取ったマット状苗が載っている苗掬い板を片手で持って苗植付部の苗載台に向けて差し出し、他方の手でマット状苗が滑落しないようにマット状苗を押えながら行なう。この補給作業は、作業を無理な姿勢で行なわなければならず、作業性が悪く作業効率も悪いものであった。そこで、容易に作業効率良く苗補給が行なえる乗用型苗移植機と育苗箱を提供する。【解決手段】苗補給装置７０は、側壁枠２と側壁枠２に抜き差し自在の底板３から構成した育苗箱１を載せる載置面７２ａを上部に設け、その下方に水平に付勢された水平状態とその上に載ったマット状苗Ｎの重みで後傾状態に回動する回動板７２ｃを設け、後傾状態の回動板７２ｃ下端部を苗載台５１の苗載置部５１ａ上部に連通させる。【選択図】図１４
