A rice-planting machine including an auxiliary brake mechanism for stopping the machine body, which auxiliary brake mechanism is operatively associated with a clutch mechanism installed in a power transmission path extending from a prime mover to a running section, wherein a transmission case is operatively connected to the engine through the clutch mechanism, an axle case is operatively connected to the transmission case, and a pair of wheels are operatively connected to the axle case, thereby forming a power transmission path to transmit the engine power from the engine to the wheels, the auxiliary brake mechanism being located in the power transmission path downstream of the transmission case. Thus, even if the transmission case is held neutral, the rotation of the front and rear wheels can be stopped by the auxiliary brake mechanism, enabling the machine body to be reliably kept stopped even on an inclined surface such as a slope.
