<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seedling transplanter in which a preliminary seedling frame is not switched between a seedling load mode and a fertilizer load mode due to vibration during planting or move-traveling, thereby preventing loaded seedlings or fertilizer from dropping.SOLUTION: The seedling transplanter has a preliminary seedling frame 38 for loading preliminary seedlings provided on a front part of a traveling vehicle body 2 thereof and a fertilizer stand 63 for loading fertilizer provided on a side of the preliminary seedling frame 38, the preliminary seedling frame 38 being made rotatable, so that seedling transplanter can switch between the seedling load mode for loading seedlings and the fertilizer load mode in which fertilizer is loaded on the fertilizer stand 63. The switching is performed by a rotation lock mechanism 66 of the preliminary seedling frame 38. When the rotation lock mechanism 66 is actuated, the preliminary seedling frame 38 can be prevented from switching between the seedling load mode and the fertilizer load mode due to vibration during planting or move-traveling. Consequently, dropping of the loaded seedlings or fertilizer is prevented, eliminating the need for gathering the dropped seedlings or fertilizer, preventing the seedlings from being damaged by the shock of the dropping and from causing poor growth with the result of improved quality of the seedlings, and preventing the packages or other containers of fertilizer from being broken open and the contained fertilizer from being scattered.</p> |
