<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lighten residual fertilizer discharge work, and to discharge residual fertilizer efficiently. <P>SOLUTION: A riding rice transplanter with a fertilizing device connects a transplanting apparatus at the back of a traveling device, and mounts a fertilizing device stretched in a horizontal width direction at the back of a seat provided in the traveling device. The fertilizing device includes: a movable-side fertilizing unit including a plurality of delivery units connected along the stretch direction and a hopper unit communicating and connecting with each delivery unit; and a fixed-side fertilizing unit fixed to the traveling device. In the movable-side fertilizing unit, adjacent hopper units are allowed to communicate each other, a discharge unit for discharging a fertilizer remaining within the hopper unit is provided on an outside wall of the hopper unit positioned at one side edge, and a moving mechanism is provided between the movable-side fertilizing unit and the fixed-side fertilizing unit. The moving mechanism allows the movable-side fertilizing unit to be movable and deflectable outside, and the moved and deflected movable-side fertilizing unit is tilted by empty weight to allow the discharge unit to point downward. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
