TRANSPLANTER

To provide a transplanter which can reduce a load on a planting device, reduce a load on a worker and improve planting accuracy regarding large seedlings.SOLUTION: A planting device 4 includes: a guide cylinder that receives supply of seedlings and guides them downward; a guide cylinder holding member that is formed so as to hold the guide cylinder; an opening/closing member that is attached so as to be openable/closable to the guide cylinder holding member; and a beak-shaped planting tool which transplants the seedlings into a farm field. A load dispersion plate for dispersing a load applied to the guide cylinder holding member is arranged in a connection part between a lifting mechanism U and the planting device. The load dispersion plate is attached to the guide cylinder holding member in such a way that a pin for the lifting mechanism arranged on one side surface of the guide cylinder holding member for connecting the lifting mechanism as the connection part and a pin for the load dispersion plate arranged on the other side surface of the guide cylinder holding member are engaged in a penetrating manner. An opening/closing cable for opening and closing an opening/closing member is routed to the opening/closing member so as to pass through the inner side of the load dispersion plate and the lateral side of the guide cylinder holding member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】大型の苗に対して、植付装置の負荷を軽減し、併せて、作業者の負担を軽減し、植付精度を向上できる移植機を提供する。【解決手段】植付装置４は、苗の供給を受けて下方へと案内する案内筒と、前記案内筒を保持するように形成された案内筒保持部材と、前記案内筒保持部材に開閉動作可能に取り付けられた開閉部材と、圃場に苗を移植する嘴状の植付具とを備え、昇降機構Ｕと植付装置との連結部に、案内筒保持部材にかかる負荷を分散するための負荷分散プレートが配設され、負荷分散プレートは、連結部として前記昇降機構を連結するために案内筒保持部材の一の側面に配された昇降機構用ピンと、案内筒保持部材の他の側面に配された負荷分散プレート用ピンとを貫入係合するように案内筒保持部材に取り付けられており、開閉部材を開閉する開閉ケーブルが、負荷分散プレートの内側かつ案内筒保持部材の側方を通過するように開閉部材へと配索される。【選択図】図１
